The transcendence of zeros of canonical basis elements of the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms for Gamma(0)(2)

Abstract

We consider the canonical basis elements f(k,m)(epsilon) for the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight k for the Hecke congruence group Gamma(0)(2) and we prove that for all m >= c(k) for some constant c(k), if z(0) in a fundamen- tal domain for Gamma(0)(2) is a zero of f(k,m)(epsilon), then either z(0) is in {i/root 2, - 1/2 + i/2, 1/2 + i/2, -1+i root 7/4, 1+i root 7/4} or z(0) is transcendental.
