Summary
LetΔ⊂SL2
denote a Fuchsian triangle group andA an elliptic fixed point of δ. For any weightk and any multiplier systemv whose values are roots of unity, there is a basis of automorphic forms with expansions
Where allr n are rational andb is a constant depending only on Δ andA. The computation ofb yields a product of Γ-values at rational arguments up to an algebraic factor. If ∞ is a cusp of Δ, the same basis has — up to constant factors —Fourier expansions of type
Where allr n are rational,s∈ℝ depends onv, anda is a constant depending only on Δ. For reasonably normalized Δ, the computation ofa leads to a rational or algebraic number for arithmetic groups Δ and a transcendental number\(\alpha _1^{\beta _1 } ...\alpha _m^{\beta _m } \) with algebraic α j , β j in all other cases.
These results hold also for normal subgroups ϕ of Δ with finite abelian factor group Δ/ϕ.
