On Dirichlet series attached to quasimodular forms (Q2420383)

This paper is concerned with certain properties of Dirichlet series attached to quasimodular forms for the full modular group \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb Z)\). A holomorphic function \(f\) on the Poincaré upper half plane \(\mathbb H\) is a quasimodular form of weight \(w\) and depth \(p\) if there are holomorphic functions \(f_0, f_1, \ldots, f_m\) on \(\mathbb H\) with \(f_p\) not identically zero satisfying \[ \frac {1} {(cz+d)^w} f \Bigl( \frac {az+b} {cz+d} \Bigr)= f_0 (z) + \frac{ c f_1(z)}{cz+d} + \cdots + \frac{ c^p f_p (z)}{(cz+d)^p}, \] for all \(z \in \mathbb H\) and \(\left( \begin{smallmatrix} a&b\\ c&d \end{smallmatrix}\right) \in \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb Z)\). The component functions \(f_j\) are also quasimodular forms, and, as in the case of modular forms, one can consider the completed Dirichlet series \(\Lambda (f_j,s) = (2\pi)^{-s} \Gamma (s) L (f_j, s)\). The authors prove that a quasimodular form of weight \(w\) and depth \(p\) with component functions \(f_j\) satisfies the functional equation \[ \Lambda (f_j, w-2j-s) = \sum^{p-j}_{\ell =0} i^{-w-2j-\ell} \binom {j+\ell} {\ell} \Lambda (f_{j+\ell}, s- \ell) .\] They also generalize Hecke's converse theorem to quasimodular forms and discuss applications of their results to a \(q\)-series and to sign changes of the Fourier coefficients of quasimodular forms.
