A note on certain divisibility properties of the Fourier coefficients of normalized Eisenstein series (Q1812477)

The coefficients in question are the numbers \(e_{2k}(n)= -\frac{4k} {B_{2k}} \sigma_{2k-1}(n)\), where \(B_{2k}\) is a Bernoulli number and \(\sigma_r(n)\) is the sum of the \(r\)th powers of the divisors of \(n\). For primes \(p\equiv 3\pmod 4\) such that \(2k-1\) is an odd multiple of \(\varphi(p^a)/2\), it is shown that \(e_{2k}(n)\equiv 0\pmod {24p^a}\) for all \(n\) that are quadratic nonresidues of \(p\).
