Limits of traces of singular moduli


Abstract in English

Let $f$ and $g$ be weakly holomorphic modular functions on $Gamma_0(N)$ with the trivial character. For an integer $d$, let $Tr_d(f)$ denote the modular trace of $f$ of index $d$. Let $r$ be a rational number equivalent to $iinfty$ under the action of $Gamma_0(4N)$. In this paper, we prove that, when $z$ goes radially to $r$, the limit $Q_{hat{H}(f)}(r)$ of the sum $H(f)(z) = sum_{d>0}Tr_d(f)e^{2pi idz}$ is a special value of a regularized twisted $L$-function defined by $Tr_d(f)$ for $dleq0$. It is proved that the regularized $L$-function is meromorphic on $mathbb{C}$ and satisfies a certain functional equation. Finally, under the assumption that $N$ is square free, we prove that if $Q_{hat{H}(f)}(r)=Q_{hat{H}(g)}(r)$ for all $r$ equivalent to $i infty$ under the action of $Gamma_0(4N)$, then $Tr_d(f)=Tr_d(g)$ for all integers $d$.
