Extract

Suppose that

is an integral modular form of dimensions −κ, where κ > 0, and Stufe N, which vanishes at all the rational cusps of the fundamental region, and which is absolutely convergent for Then

where a, b, c, d are integers such that ad − bc = 1.

When (m, n)>1, (m, n, N) = 1, we denote by f m n (s) the function f γ,δ(s), where γ ≡ m, δ ≡ n (mod N), (γ, δ) = 1.
