Ramanujan-like formulas for Fourier coefficients of all meromorphic cusp forms

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate Fourier expansions of meromorphic modular forms. Over the years, a number of special cases of meromorphic modular forms were shown to have Fourier expansions closely resembling the expansion of the reciprocal of the weight 6 Eisenstein series which was computed by Hardy and Ramanujan. By investigating meromorphic modular forms within a larger space of so-called polar harmonic Maass forms, we prove in this paper that all negative-weight meromorphic modular forms (and furthermore all quasi-meromorphic modular forms) have Fourier expansions of this type, granted that they are bounded towards infinity.
