Proceedings Paper for REU Project Involving Counting Eta-Quotients

Abstract: It is known that all modular forms on

S L_{2} (Z)

can be expressed as a rational function in

e t a (z)

,

e t a (2 z)

and

e t a (4 z)

. By using a theorem by Gordon, Hughes, and Newman, and calculating the order of vanishing, we can compute the

e t a

-quotients for a given level. Using this count, knowing how many

e t a

-quotients are linearly independent and using the dimension formula, we can figure out how the

e t a

-quotients span higher levels. In this paper, we primarily focus on the case where

N = p

a prime, and some discussion for non-prime indicies.
