On interlacing of the zeros of a certain family of modular forms

Abstract: Let

k = 12 m (k) + s g e 12

for

s i n 0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14

, be an even integer and

f

be a normalised modular form of weight

k

with real Fourier coefficients, written as

f=E_k+sum_{j=1}^{m(k)}a_jE_{k-12j}Delta^j.

Under suitable conditions on

a_{j}

(rectifying an earlier result of Getz), we show that all the zeros of

f

, in the standard fundamental domain for the action of

on the upper half plane, lies on the arc

A := l e f t e^{i h e t a} : f r a c p i 2 l e h e t a l e f r a c 2 p i 3 i g h t

. Further, extending a result of Nozaki, we show that for certain family

{f_{k}}_{k}

of normalised modular forms, the zeros of

f_{k}

and

f_{k + 12}

interlace on

A^{c} i r c := l e f t e^{i h e t a} : f r a c p i 2 < h e t a < f r a c 2 p i 3 i g h t

.
