Prime divisors of Fourier coefficients of modular forms

From MaRDI portal





This paper investigates divisibility properties of Fourier coefficients of modular forms of integral weight for any congruence subgroup of \(\text{SL}_ 2(\mathbb Z)\), but the principal results are stated here only for the Ramanujan \(\tau\)-function. \textit{J. P. Serre} [Enseign. Math., II. Sér. 22, 227--260 (1976; Zbl 0355.10021)] has shown that, for a given integer \(d\), \(\tau(n)\) is divisible by \(d\) for almost all \(n\). The authors prove the stronger result that \(\tau(n)\) is divisible by \(d^{\omega}\) for almost all \(n\), where \(\omega =[\delta \log \log n]\) and \(\delta\) is a positive constant depending on \(d\). Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis they also show that \[ \sum_{p\leq x,\;\tau(p)\neq 0}(\nu(\tau(p))-\log \log p)^ 2\ll \tau(x) \log \log x, \] \[ \sum_{n\leq x,\;\tau(n)\neq 0}(\nu(\tau(n))-(1/2)(\log \log n)^ 2)^ 2\ll x (\log \log x)^ 3 \log_ 4 x, \] where \(\nu(n)\) is the number of distinct prime divisors of \(n\) and \(\log_ 4 x= \log \log \log \log x.\)
