Borcherds Products Associated with Certain Thompson Series

چکیده
Let M ! 1/2 be the additive group consisting of nearly holomorphic modular forms of weight 1/2 for Γ0(4) whose Fourier coefficients are integers and satisfy the Kohnen’s “plus space” condition (i.e. n-th coefficients vanish unless n ≡ 0 or 1 modulo 4). We also let B be the multiplicative group consisting of meromorphic modular forms for some characters of SL2(Z) of integral weight with leading coefficient 1 whose coefficients are integers and all of whose zeros and poles are either cusps or imaginary quadratic irrationals. Borcherds [3] gave an isomorphism between M ! 1/2 and B by means of infinite products which we call modular products or Borcherds products. Let d denote a positive integer congruent to 0 or 3 modulo 4. We denote by Qd the set of positive definite binary quadratic forms Q = [a, b, c] = aX + bXY + cY 2 (a, b, c ∈ Z) of discriminant −d, with usual action of the modular group Γ = PSL2(Z). To each Q ∈ Qd, we associate its unique root αQ ∈ H (=upper half plane). We define the HurwitzKronecker class numberH(d) by H(d) = ∑

Zagier Duality for the Exponents of Borcherds Products for Hilbert Modular Forms
A certain sequence of weight 1/2 modular forms arises in the theory of Borcherds products for modular forms for SL2(Z). Zagier proved a family of identities between the coefficients of these weight 1/2 forms and a similar sequence of weight 3/2 modular forms, which interpolate traces of singular moduli. We obtain the analogous results for modular forms arising from Borcherds products for Hilber...
متن کاملGeneralized Moonshine Ii: Borcherds Products
The goal of this paper is to construct infinite dimensional Lie algebras using infinite product identities, and to use these Lie algebras to reduce the generalized moonshine conjecture to a pair of hypotheses about group actions on vertex algebras and Lie algebras. The Lie algebras that we construct conjecturally appear in an orbifold conformal field theory with symmetries given by the monster ...
متن کاملThe algebraic meaning of genus-zero1
The Conway–Norton conjectures unexpectedly related the Monster with certain special modular functions (Hauptmoduls). Their proof by Borcherds et al was remarkable for demonstrating the rich mathematics implicit there. Unfortunately Moonshine remained almost as mysterious after the proof as before. In particular, a computer check — as opposed to a general conceptual argument — was used to verify...
متن کاملTraces of Singular Values and Borcherds Products
Abstract. Let p be a prime for which the congruence group Γ0(p) ∗ is of genus zero, and j∗ p be the corresponding Hauptmodul. Let f be a nearly holomorphic modular form of weight 1/2 on Γ0(4p) which satisfies some congruence condition on its Fourier coefficients. We interpret f as a vector valued modular form. Applying Borcherds lifting of vector valued modular forms we construct infinite produ...
متن کاملIntroduction to the Monster Lie Algebra
for each element g of the monster, so that our problem is to work out what these Thompson series are. For example, if 1 is the identity element of the monster then Tr(1|Vn) = dim(Vn) = c(n), so that the Thompson series T1(q) = j(τ) − 744 is the elliptic modular function. McKay, Thompson, Conway and Norton conjectured [Con] that the Thompson series Tg(q) are always Hauptmoduls for certain modula...
