Eisenstein Series - Recurrence Relation

Recurrence Relation

Any holomorphic modular form for the modular group can be written as a polynomial in and . Specifically, the higher order 's can be written in terms of and through a recurrence relation. Let . Then the satisfy the relation

for all . Here, is the binomial coefficient and and .

The occur in the series expansion for the Weierstrass's elliptic functions:

\wp(z) =\frac{1}{z^2} + z^2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac {d_k z^{2k}}{k!} =\frac{1}{z^2} + \sum_{k=1}^\infty (2k+1) G_{2k+2} z^{2k}

Famous quotes containing the words recurrence and/or relation:

    “Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
