We study the asymptotic behavior of the family of holomorphic correspondences $\lbrace \mathcal {F}_a\rbrace _{a\in \mathcal {K}}$, given by

$$ \begin{align*}\bigg(\frac{az+1}{z+1}\bigg)^2+\bigg(\frac{az+1}{z+1}\bigg)\bigg(\frac{aw-1}{w-1}\bigg)+\bigg(\frac{aw-1}{w-1}\bigg)^2=3.\end{align*} $$

A (folklore?) conjecture states that no holomorphic modular form $F(\tau )=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } a_nq^n\in q\mathbb Z[[q]]$ exists, where $q=e^{2\pi i\tau }$ , such that its anti-derivative $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } a_nq^n/n$ has integral coefficients in the q-expansion. A recent observation of Broadhurst and Zudilin, rigorously accomplished by Li and Neururer, led to examples of meromorphic modular forms possessing the integrality property. In this note, we investigate the arithmetic phenomenon from a systematic perspective and discuss related transcendental extensions of the differentially closed ring of quasi-modular forms.

It has been well established that congruences between automorphic forms have far-reaching applications in arithmetic. In this paper, we construct congruences for Siegel–Hilbert modular forms defined over a totally real field of class number 1. As an application of this general congruence, we produce congruences between paramodular Saito–Kurokawa lifts and non-lifted Siegel modular forms. These congruences are used to produce evidence for the Bloch–Kato conjecture for elliptic newforms of square-free level and odd functional equation.

We prove the modularity of four rigid and three nonrigid Calabi-Yau threefolds associated with the A4 root lattice.

The paper continues the investigation of the Hecke structure of spaces of half-integral weight cusp forms ${S_{k + 1/2}}(4N, \chi)$, where $k$ and $N$ are positive integers with $N$ odd, and $\chi$ is an even quadratic Dirichlet character modulo $4N$. In the Hecke decomposition of these spaces, contributions are determined arising from newforms which are quadratic twists of newforms at lower levels. Combining this result with its counterpart in a previous paper regarding non-twists gives this paper's main result: necessary and sufficient conditions under which a given newform has equivalent cusp forms in ${S_{k + 1/2}}(4N, \chi)$. The result reformulates, in classical terms, the representation-theoretic conditions given by Flicker and Waldspurger. The conditions involve easily-verified information about the primes dividing the level of the newform, and about the behavior of the newform under certain quadratic twists and Atkin–Lehner involutions. The theorem is applied to give explicit examples of twisted newforms having no equivalent half-integral weight cusp forms in any space ${S_{k + 1/2}}(4N, \chi)$ as above.

We investigate the connection between integral weight and half-integral weight modular forms. Building on results of Ueda [14], we obtain structure theorems for spaces of half-integral weight cusp forms Sk/2(4N,χ) where k and N are odd nonnegative integers with k ≥ 3, and χ is an even quadratic Dirichlet character modulo 4N. We give complete results in the case where N is a power of a single prime, and partial results in the more general case. Using these structure results, we give a classical reformulation of the representation-theoretic conditions given by Flicker [5] and Waldspurger [17] in results regarding the Shimura correspondence. Our version characterizes, in classical terms, the largest possible image of the Shimura lift given our restrictions on N and χ, by giving conditions under which a newform has an equivalent cusp form in Sk/2(4N, χ). We give examples (computed using tables of Cremona [4]) of newforms which have no equivalent half-integral weight cusp forms for any such N and χ. In addition, we compare our structure results to Ueda’s [14] decompositions of the Kohnen subspace, illustrating more precisely how the Kohnen subspace sits inside the full space of cusp forms.
