Low-order q-expansion coefficients at level one #

Mathlib records the constant and linear q-coefficients of E₄, E₆ and Δ. This file continues them to the q² and q³ terms, E₄ = 1 + 240 q + 2160 q² + 6720 q³ + ⋯, E₆ = 1 - 504 q - 16632 q² - 122976 q³ + ⋯ and Δ = q - 24 q² + 252 q³ + ⋯, and records that Δ is asymptotic to q at i∞. These are the coefficients the q-expansion of the modular invariant j = E₄³ / Δ is computed from.

The Eisenstein coefficients are 240 σ₃(n) and -504 σ₅(n) (Mathlib's EisensteinSeries.E_qExpansion_coeff). The coefficients of Δ are read off the identity 1728 Δ = E₄³ - E₆² in the graded ring, transported to q-expansions.

The q²-coefficient of E₄ is 240 σ₃(2) = 2160.

The q³-coefficient of E₄ is 240 σ₃(3) = 6720.

The q²-coefficient of E₆ is -504 σ₅(2) = -16632.

The q³-coefficient of E₆ is -504 σ₅(3) = -122976.

The constant coefficient of the discriminant vanishes: Δ is a cusp form.

The q²-coefficient of the discriminant is Ramanujan's τ(2) = -24.

The q³-coefficient of the discriminant is Ramanujan's τ(3) = 252.
