Linear relations among the Fourier coefficients of modular forms on groups Gamma(0)(N) of genus zero and their applications

Abstract

We study the linear relations among the Fourier coefficients of modular forms on the group Gamma(0)(N) of genus zero. Applying these linear relations, congruence properties of Hecke eigenforms, replicable properties of Hauptmoduln and congruences of representation numbers of the sums of n squares can be obtained. The eta-quotient expression of the unique normalized modular form Delta(N)(z) of weight 12 on Gamma(0)(N) with a zero of maximum order at infinity is listed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
