Representation of Ramanujan’s tau function by twisted divisor functions

We present an infinite family of identities that represent Ramanujan’s tau function in terms of convolution sums of twisted divisor functions. Our method involves explicitly constructing non-vanishing level [Formula: see text] cusp forms from modular forms of higher levels.

Abstract

We present an infinite family of identities that represent Ramanujan’s tau function in terms of convolution sums of twisted divisor functions. Our method involves explicitly constructing non-vanishing level [Formula: see text] cusp forms from modular forms of higher levels.
