    In 2003, \textit{O. Bergman} et al. [``D-brane interactions in type II B plane-wave background'', J. High Energy Phys. 2003, No. 3, 002 (2003)] proved that in the plane wave background the cylinder amplitudes involve a non-trivial deformation of the Dedekind eta function. Inspired by this physical fact, in the paper under review, the authors define one-parameter ``massive'' deformations of Maass forms and Jacobi forms. More precisely, a \textit{massive Maass form} is defined as a smooth function \(f_\mu (\tau)\) on \((\tau,\mu) \in \mathbb{H}\times \mathbb{R}^+\) which, for each fixed \(\mu\), transforms like a modular form for some Fuchsian group, has at most polynomial growth towards the cusps, and is annihilated by some differential operator. If \[ f(\tau) := \lim_{\mu \to 0+} f_\mu(\tau) \] exists for all \(\tau\in \mathbb{H}\), then \(f_\mu\) is a called a massive deformation of \(f\). Similarly, a \textit{massive Maass-Jacobi form} is defined as a smooth function \(\varphi_\mu(z;\tau)\) on \((z,\tau,\mu) \in \mathbb{C} \times \mathbb{H} \times \mathbb{R}^+\) which, for each fixed \(\mu\), transforms like a Jacobi form for some discrete subgroup of \(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})\times \mathbb{R}^2\), has at most polynomial growth towards the cusps, and is annihilated by two certain differential operators. If \[ \varphi(z;\tau) := \lim_{\mu \to 0+} \varphi_\mu(z;\tau) \] exists for all \(z\in\mathbb{C}\) and \(\tau\in \mathbb{H}\), then \(\varphi_\mu\) is a called a massive deformation of \(\varphi\). Under these settings, the authors determine a massive deformation of the Kronecker-Eisenstein series which is a Maass-Jacobi form of weight and index zero, and they further discuss some generalizations of this example.
