On the cuspidal modular forms for the Fuchsian groups of the first kind (Q984837)

In this paper the author studies the construction and non vanishing of cuspidal modular forms of weight \(m \geq 3\) for arbitrary Fuchsian groups of the first kind. He gives a general construction of modular forms and one of his main results gives a spanning set for the space of cuspidal modular forms \(S_m(\Gamma)\) of weight \(m \geq 3\) in a uniform way which does not depend on the fact that \(\Gamma\) has cusps or not; he relates this result to the classical situation. Moreover the author writes down a non-vanishing criterion for the series introduced in his main result and he gives an application of this criterion.
