Formal deformations of the algebra of Jacobi forms and Rankin-Cohen brackets (Q2034759)

This work is devoted to the algebraic and arithmetic properties of Rankin-Cohen brackets. The general algebraic results developed are applied to the study of formal deformations of the algebra of weak Jacobi forms and their relation with the Rankin-Cohen brackets on modular and quasimodular forms. First, it gives two strategies to construct significant formal deformations on a graded algebra, one with an homogeneous derivation and the associated formal Rankin-Cohen brackets, the other to embed the algebra into another bigger algebra and consider the formal Rankin-Cohen brackets on the bigger one. The two formal deformations are not isomorphic. It focuses on the property of these brackets to be formal deformations of the algebras on which they are defined. Second, it gives a family of derivations extending the Serre derivation and deduce a family of formal Rankin-Cohen brackets. It is also classified these deformations up to modular isomorphism. Third, it deals with the natural problem of extending the classical Rankin-Cohen brackets on to deformations. The method consists in applying the extension-restriction principle which is novel.
