Are umbral moonshine and umbral calculus connected?

We used the word "umbral" because umbral moonshine involves mock modular forms whose lack of modularity is characterized by another function known as the shadow of the mock modular form. Umbra is the …

What is the relationship between the Leech lattice and Dedekind eta function?

Steve Carnahan in his answer to this question Where do the product expansions of modular forms come from? gives a conceptual explanation of the product form for $\Delta$, but it has nothing to do with …

Monstrous moonshine for $M_{24}$ and K3?

I can answer your first question. In arXiv:1208.4074 by Dabholkar, Murthy and Zagier you can find a formula that implies $H^{(2)}(\tau)= \frac{48 F_2^{(2)}(\tau)- 2 E_2(\tau)}{\eta(\tau)^3}$ where $E_ …

Index one weak Jacobi forms and weakly holomorphic modular forms?

Section 4.2 of this paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.4074.pdf by Dabholkar, Murthy and Zagier may be what you want. The theta coefficients of weak Jacobi forms of weight k and index m are 2m component …

Reference request for Hecke operators for principal congruence subgroup of modular group

I am looking for references that discuss Hecke operators $T_n$ acting on modular forms for the principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(N)$ of the modular group $SL(2,Z)$ and am happy to restrict to the …

More on Moonshine for the Thompson group and weakly holomorphic weight one half modular forms

This question is a follow-up to Monstrous Moonshine for Thompson group $Th$? and is based on various comments to that question, in particular S. Carnahan's mention of the connection to known Moonshin …

Mock Theta Functions

In addition to Zagier's excellent Bourbaki seminar I would also recommend some notes by Ken Ono that include both a summary of the history of mock theta functions and mock modular forms and a survey o …

What is the modern understanding of the order of a mock theta function?

Ramanujan introduced mock theta functions and described them by an "order" which he did not define. As a result of the work of Zwegers and others we now have a better understanding of mock theta funct …
