The Hecke system of harmonic Maass functions and applications to modular curves of higher genera (Q6060196)

In the theory of monstrous moonshine, replication formulas, special recurrence formulas for coefficients of Hauptmoduln, play a key role. More recently, replicability played a central role in Duncan, Griffin, and Ono's proof of the Umbral Moonshine Conjecture (in this case, the recurrences in question arose from holomorphic projection and mock modular/harmonic Maass forms are used). In the case of the \(j\)-function, this replicability is related to a famous denominator formula. If \(J_n(\tau)\) is the unique modular function of level \(1\) which has principal part \(J_n(\tau)=q^{-n}+O(q)\) (famously, \(J_n\) is a Faber polynomial evaluated at the Hauptmodl \(J(\tau):=j(\tau)-744\)), then the \(J_n\) form a Hecke system in the sense that \(J_n=J|T_n\). Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya famously used this to take the generating function fo the \(J_n\) in another variable and obtain a weight \(2\) meromorphic modular form. This situation was for the genus zero case. In this paper, the authors extend to higher genus congruence subgroups, and to harmonic Maass forms. The results are quite general, yielding results for any level.
