Bounds for coefficients of cusp forms and extremal lattices

Abstract: A cusp form

f (z)

of weight

k

for

is determined uniquely by its first

e l l := d i m S_{k}

Fourier coefficients. We derive an explicit bound on the

n

th coefficient of

f

in terms of its first

e l l

coefficients. We use this result to study the non-negativity of the coefficients of the unique modular form of weight

k

with Fourier expansion [F_{k,0}(z) = 1 + O(q^{ell + 1}).] In particular, we show that

k = 81632

is the largest weight for which all the coefficients of

F_{0, k} (z)

are non-negative. This result has applications to the theory of extremal lattices.
