Abstract
Let $X = \mathbb{H}/\Gamma$ be an $n$-punctured sphere, $n \gt 3$. We introduce and study $n-3$ deformation operators on the space of modular forms $M_\ast (\Gamma)$ based on the classical theory of uniformizing differential equations and accessory parameters. When restricting to modular functions, we recover a construction in Teichmüller theory related to the deformation of the complex structure of $X$. We describe the deformation operators in terms of derivations with respect to Eichler integrals of weight-four cusp forms, and in terms of vector-valued modular forms attached to extensions of symmetric tensor representations.
期刊介绍:
Dedicated to publication of complete and important papers of original research in all areas of mathematics. Expository papers and research announcements of exceptional interest are also occasionally published. High standards are applied in evaluating submissions; the entire editorial board must approve the acceptance of any paper.
