COMMENT

Essentially same as McKay-Thompson series of class 1A for Monster.

sigma_3(n) is the sum of the cubes of the divisors of n (A001158).

Klein's absolute invariant J=j/1728 is Gamma-modular.

FORMULA

A007245(q)^3/q; or (1 + 240 sum sigma_3(n) q^n )^3 / (q prod (1-q^n)^24 ) (n=1..inf).

It appears that -n * a(n) = A035230(n). - Gerald McGarvey, Dec 21 2006

2 * a(2) = A028520(3). 2 * a(4) + a(1) = A028520(4). 2 * a(6) = A028520(5). - Gerald McGarvey, Dec 21 2006

Expansion of 128 * (theta_2(q)^8 + theta_3(q)^8 + theta_4(q)^8) * (theta_2(q)^-8 + theta_3(q)^-8 + theta_4(q)^-8) in powers of q^2. - Michael Somos Oct 02 2007

EXAMPLE

j = 1/q + 744 + 196884q + 21493760q^2 + 864299970q^3 + ...

MAPLE

with(numtheory): TOP := 31; g2 := 4*Pi^4/3 * (1 + 240 * sum(sigma[ 3 ](n)*q^n, n=1..TOP-1));

g3 := 8*Pi^6/27 * (1 - 504 * sum(sigma[ 5 ](n)*q^n, n=1..TOP-1)); delta := convert(series(g2^3 - 27*g3^2, q, TOP), polynom);

j := q -> convert(series(1728 * g2^3 / delta, q, TOP), polynom); jj := j(q);

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=local(A); if(n<-1, 0, A=x^(2*n+2)*O(x); A=x*(eta(x+A)*eta(x^4+A)^2/eta(x^2+A)^3)^8; polcoeff(subst(256*(1-x+x^2)^3/(x-x^2)^2, x, 16*A), 2*n))

(PARI) a(n)=local(A); if(n<-1, 0, A=x^(5*n+5)*O(x); A=(eta(x+A)/eta(x^5+A))^6/x; polcoeff(subst( (x^2+10*x+5)^3/x, x, A), 5*n)) /* Michael Somos Apr 30 2004 */

(PARI) a(n)=local(A); if(n<-1, 0, A=x^2*O(x^n); A=x*(eta(x^2+A)/eta(x+A))^24; polcoeff((1+256*A)^3/A, n)) /* Michael Somos Jul 13 2004 */
