COMMENTS
A more correct name would be: Expansion of replicable function of class 2a. See Alexander et al., 1992. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 12 2015
From "More on Replicable Functions": 'The fifth row consists of the class names. As stated above, the numbers are the replication orders. For those functions arising in Monstrous Moonshine, the letter corresponds to the relevant conjugacy class in the Monster in Atlas notation (or, if there is more than one class, the one with the first letter). For non-monstrous functions, the class names use lower case letters and, in accordance with Atlas notation, are arranged generally in descending order of Frobenian.'
Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

FORMULA
Sqrt(j-1728), where j is the j-function, see A000521.
A014708(2*n - 1) == a(n) (mod 256). That is, the coefficients of (T1A - T2a) are all divisible by 256. - Michael Somos, Jun 29 2011
Expansion of (-phi(-q)^12 - 30 * phi(-q)^8 * phi(q)^4 + 96 * phi(-q)^4 * phi(q)^8 - 64 * phi(q)^12) / f(-q)^12 where phi(), f() are Ramanujan theta functions. - Michael Somos, Mar 17 2013
Expansion of (-8*(2*theta_2(0, q)^12-3*theta_2(0, q)^8*theta_3(0, q)^4-3*theta_3(0, q)^8*theta_2(0, q)^4+2*theta_3(0, q)^12))/(theta_3(0, q)^4*(theta_2(0, q)^4-theta_3(0, q)^4)*theta_2(0, q)^4) in powers of q. Shows an analytic choice of the square root for complex q, 0 < |q| < 1. - G. A. Edgar, Mar 10 2017
G.f.: Product_{k>=1} (1-q^k)^(A289061(k)/2). - Seiichi Manyama, Jul 02 2017
a(n) ~ -exp(2*Pi*sqrt(2*n)) / (2^(3/4) * n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 09 2017
