Abstract:
In this paper, we determine all modular forms of weights , , for the full modular group which behave like theta series, i.e., which have in their Fourier expansions, the constant term and all other Fourier coefficients are non-negative rational integers. In fact, we give convex regions in (resp. in ) for the cases (resp. for the cases ). Corresponding to each lattice point in these regions, we get a modular form with the above property. As an application, we determine the possible exceptions of quadratic forms in the respective dimensions.
