We introduce a product operation on the space of such modular forms, depending on the choice of a maximal isotropic sublattice of L, which makes this space a finitely generated filtered associative algebra, without unit element in general. This algebra structure is functorial with respect to embedding of lattices by the quasi-pullback map. We study the basic properties, prove for example that the algebra is commutative if and only if L is unimodular. When L is unimodular with p=2, the multiplicative group of Borcherds products of integral weight forms a subring.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-20T07:59:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F37", "16S99", "11F27", "11F55", "11F50" ], "keywords": [ "borcherds products", "generated filtered associative algebra", "weakly holomorphic modular forms", "integral weight forms", "maximal isotropic sublattice" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
