Modular Forms

Basic Definitions

Notation: Throughout, let

z = x + iy ∈ H with x , y ∈ R and y > 0.

“Definition”

A modular form of weight k is any holomorphic function f on Hsatisfying:

1 For all(a bc d

)∈ SL2(Z), we have

f

(az + b

cz + d

)= (cz + d)k f (z).

2 We have that f is holomorphic at the cusps.
