Abstract

Let \λ be an integer, and f(z)=\∑n\≫-\∞ a(n)qn be a\nweakly holomorphic modular form of weight \λ+ frac 12 on \Γ0(4)\nwith integral coefficients. Let \ℓ\≥ 5 be a prime. Assume that the\nconstant term a(0) is not zero modulo \ℓ. Further, assume that, for some\npositive integer m, the Fourier expansion of (f|U\ℓm)(z) =\n\∑n=0^\∞ b(n)qn has the form \(f|U
