Polynomials and Reciprocals of Eisenstein series
Hardy and Ramanujan introduced the Circle Method to study the Fourier expansion of certain meromorphic modular forms on the upper complex half-plane. These led to asymptotic results for the partition numbers and proven and unproven formulas for the coefficients of the reciprocals of Eisenstein series [Formula: see text], especially of weight 4. Berndt et al. finally proved them all. Recently, Bringmann and Kane generalized Petersson’s approach via Poincaré series, to handle the general case. We introduce a third approach. We attach recursively defined polynomials to reciprocals of Eisenstein series. This provides easy access to the signs of the Fourier coefficients of reciprocals of Eisenstein series, sheds some light on reciprocals of [Formula: see text] of general weight, and provides some upper and lower bounds for their growth.
