Abstract

In his striking 1995 paper, Borcherds [Automorphic forms on Os+2,2(ℝ) and infinite products, Invent. Math.120 (1995) 161–213] found an infinite product expansion for certain modular forms with CM divisors. In particular, this applies to the Hilbert class polynomial of discriminant -d evaluated at the modular j-function. Among a number of powerful generalizations of Borcherds' work, Zagier made an analogous statement for twisted versions of this polynomial. He proves that the exponents of these product expansions, A(n,d), are the coefficients of certain special half-integral weight modular forms. We study the congruence properties of A(n,d) modulo a prime ℓ by relating it to a modular representation of the logarithmic derivative of the Hilbert class polynomial.
