Congruence properties of Taylor coefficients of modular forms

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

In their work, Serre and Swinnerton-Dyer study the congruence properties of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We examine similar congruence properties, but for the coefficients of a modified Taylor expansion about a CM point ττ. These coefficients can be shown to be the product of a power of a constant transcendental factor and an algebraic integer. In our work, we give conditions on ττ and a prime number pp that, if satisfied, imply that pmp^m divides the algebraic part of all the Taylor coefficients of ff of sufficiently high degree. We also give effective bounds on the largest nn such that pmp^m does not divide the algebraic part of the nthn^{\text{th}} Taylor coefficient of ff at ττ that are sharp under certain additional hypotheses.
