Eta quotients and Rademacher sums

Abstract

Eta quotients on $\Gamma_0(6)$ yield evaluations of sunrise integrals at 2, 3, 4 and 6 loops. At 2 and 3 loops, they provide modular parametrizations of inhomogeneous differential equations whose solutions are readily obtained by expanding in the nome $q$. Atkin-Lehner transformations that permute cusps ensure fast convergence for all external momenta. At 4 and 6 loops, on-shell integrals are periods of modular forms of weights 4 and 6 given by Eichler integrals of eta quotients. Weakly holomorphic eta quotients determine quasi-periods. A Rademacher sum formula is given for Fourier coefficients of an eta quotient that is a Hauptmodul for $\Gamma_0(6)$ and its generalization is found for all levels with genus 0, namely for $N = 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 18, 25$. There are elliptic obstructions at $N = 11, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 24, 27, 32, 36, 49,$ with genus 1. We surmount these, finding explicit formulas for Fourier coefficients of eta quotients in thousands of cases. We show how to handle the levels $N=22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 31, 37, 50$, with genus 2, and the levels $N=30,33,34,35,39,40,41,43,45,48,64$, with genus 3. We also solve examples with genera $4,5,6,7,8,13$.
