Abstract

In a recent paper, Bruinier and Ono prove that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic Maass forms are traces of singular moduli for weak Maass forms. In particular, for the partition function p(n), they prove that

p(n)=124n-1·Pp(αQ),

where Pp is a weak Maass form and αQ ranges over a finite set of discriminant -24n+1 CM points. Moreover, they show that 6·(24n-1)·Pp(αQ) is always an algebraic integer, and they conjecture that (24n-1)·Pp(αQ) is always an algebraic integer. Here we prove a general theorem which implies this conjecture as a corollary.
