Does this space of mod 2 modular forms admit a (Z/8)* degree decomposition?
Fix an odd N>0. Let M consist of all odd elements of Z/2[[x]] that are the mod 2 reductions of elements of Z[[x]] arising as the Fourier expansions of modular forms for (Gamma_0)(N …

Sign of coefficients
Let $a_0,a_1,\dots$ be the sequence satisfying
$$
\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n\right)\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n+1}\right)=1.
$$
This means that $a_0=1$ and $a_{n+1}=-\ …

Uniform convergence of $g(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty (1-x) a_n x^n$
Let's assume that $ f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n x^n $ has a radius of convergence $1$
and that
$ \lim_{x\to 1^-} f(x) = +\infty. $
Does it imply that power series $ g(x) = \sum …

A simple question from mathematical analysis (assumption changed) [closed]
Let $\forall n=0,1,2,\dots$, $\alpha_{n}(x)$ are POLYNOMIALS in $x$. Next, let for all $x\neq0$ the power series $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\alpha_{n}(x)t^{n}$$
has positive radius of co …

A subring of the Serre Swinnerton -Dyer ring of level N modular power series
Suppose ell is prime and (N,ell)=1. Consider those power series over Z that are expansions at infinity of modular forms for gamma_0 (N) of weight a multiple of ell-1. I'll say that …

Are these empirical discoveries about the Serre Swinnerton-Dyer ring of prime level modular power series actual theorems?
In this question Joel Bellaiche constructed an algebra, M, of modular forms for
gamma_0 (N) in finite characteristic (which he called p, but I'll call ell) and asked to know its st …

flatness of power series rings
It is known that $A[[X]]$ is flat if $A$ is noetherian (see for example Bourbaki, Algèbre commutative, Ch. III, §3, Cor. 3 p. 146).
What happens if A is not noetherian? Is there …

Level p characteristic 2 modular forms and thetas
BACKGROUND
Let p be an odd prime. An element of Z/2[[x]] is "modular of level p" if it is the mod 2 reduction of a g in Z[[x]] with g the Fourier expansion of a modular form for g …

If a formal power series over the complex numbers satisfies a polynomial identity, does it imply that the power series has a radius of convergence?
Let $ P(z) $ be a $\textit{formal}$ power series in $z$ that a priori may not have a non zero radius of convergence. Assume that $P(0) =0$.
Let $\Phi(w,z)$ be a polynomial in …

A question about a formal power series manipulation
I want to find a function $f(x,y)$ which can satisfy the following equation,
$\prod _{n=1} ^{\infty} \frac{1+x^n}{(1-x^{n/2}y^{n/2})(1-x^{n/2}y^{-n/2})} = exp [ \sum _{n=1} ^\inft …

Radius of convergence to be proved more precisely (differential equation)
There is a differential equation in polar coordinates:
$r'^2+r^2=(kt)^2$, $r(t=0)=0$, k- Const.
It is possible to get a solution which is a power series (see below). However, I am …

Does this variant of a theorem of Hasse (really due to Gauss) have an “elementary” proof?
BACKGROUND
Here are 3 theorems of varying difficulty. Let $M$ be the $Z/2$ subspace of $Z/2[[x]]$ spanned by $f^k$, with the $k>0$ and odd, and $f=x+x^9+x^{25}+x^{49}+\cdots$. For …

What is known about the polynomial factorization of power series?
Some power series factorize; $1+\sum_{n=1}^\infty x^n=\prod_{n=1}^\infty (1+x^{2^n})$ and $1+\sum_{n=1}^\infty x^{2n}/(2n+1)!=\prod_{x=1}^\infty (1+x^2/n^2\pi^2)$ for example; whi …
