Three-dimensional imprimitive representations of the modular group and their associated modular forms

This paper uses previous results of the authors [6] to study certain noncongruence modular forms. We prove that these forms have unbounded denominators, and in certain cases we verify congruences of Atkin–Swinnerton-Dyer type [2] satisfied by the Fourier coefficients of these forms. Our results rest on group-theoretic facts about the modular group Γ, a detailed study of imprimitive three-dimensional representations of Γ, and the theory of their …
