Abstract: In their 2015 paper, Mertens and Rolen prove that for a certain level 6 "almost holomorphic" modular function $P$, the degree of $P(au)$ over $mathbbQ$ for quadratic $au$ is as large as expected, settling a conjecture of Bruinier and Ono. Analogously for level 1 modular functions $f$, we expect $mathbbQ(f(au))$ to have similar degree to $mathbbQ(j(au))$. In this paper, I show for a wide class of level 1 almost holomorphic modular functions that [dfrac{1}{M}[mathbb{Q}(j( au)):mathbb{Q}]leq [mathbb{Q}(f( au)):mathbb{Q}]leq[mathbb{Q}(j( au)):mathbb{Q}]] for all quadratic $au$ and some constant $M$. This is proven using techniques of o-minimality, and hence can easily be made uniform; the constant $M$ depends only upon the "degree" of $f$ (in a certain well-defined sense).
