cusp form


A cusp formMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath is a modular formMathworldPlanetmath whose first coefficient in any expansion around a cusp is zero. Another more general way to define cusp forms is to consider the forms orthogonalMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath to Eisenstein seriesMathworldPlanetmath with respect to the Petersson scalar productMathworldPlanetmath.

The Weierstrass Δ functionMathworldPlanetmath, also called modular discriminantMathworldPlanetmath is a weight 12 cusp form for the full modular group SL2()

Δ(z)=qn=1(1-qn)24 (1)

The vector spaceMathworldPlanetmath of weight k cusp forms for the full modular group is finite dimensionnal and non-trivial for k integral greater than 12 and not 14.
