Using an elementary approach, we give precise effective lower and upper bounds for the Fourier coefficients of powers of the modular invariant j . Moreover, a straightforward adaptation of an old result of Rademacher yields a convergent series expansion of these Fourier coefficients and we show that this expansion allows to find a weaker version of these estimates in the general case and sharper ones in the case of j . Our results improve on previous ones by K. Mahler and O. Herrmann. In particular, we show that the Fourier coefficients of j are smaller than their asymptotically equivalent given by Petersson and Rademacher.

Abstract


Using an elementary approach, we give precise effective lower and upper bounds for the Fourier coefficients of powers of the modular invariant j . Moreover, a straightforward adaptation of an old result of Rademacher yields a convergent series expansion of these Fourier coefficients and we show that this expansion allows to find a weaker version of these estimates in the general case and sharper ones in the case of j . Our results improve on previous ones by K. Mahler and O. Herrmann. In particular, we show that the Fourier coefficients of j are smaller than their asymptotically equivalent given by Petersson and Rademacher.
