Title: Borcherds products, Zagier duality, and traces of singular moduli
Speaker: Paul Jenkins
Abstract: Zagier related traces of singular moduli to the coefficients of certain half integral weight modular forms, giving a new proof of Borcherds' infinite product isomorphism. In this talk we revisit Zagier's results, giving new proofs of some theorems that give exact formulas for these coefficients and traces. In addition, we discuss p-adic properties of traces and the congruences that follow.
