COMMENTS

Also Fourier coefficients of j_2 where j_2 is an analytic isomorphism H/\Gamma_0(2) ->\hat{C}.

"The function j_2 is analogous to j because it is modular (weight zero) for \Gamma_0(2), holomorphics on the upper half-plane, has a simple pole at infinity, generates the field of \Gamma_0(2)-modular functions, and defines a bijection of a \Gamma_0(2) fundamental set with C." from the Brent article page 260 using his notation of j_2. - Michael Somos Mar 08 2011

Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) := Prod_{k>=1} (1-(-q)^k) (see A121373), phi(q) := theta_3(q) := Sum_{k=-oo..oo} q^(k^2) (A000122), psi(q) := Sum_{k=0..oo} q^(k*(k+1)/2) (A10054), chi(q) := Prod_{k>=0} (1+q^(2k+1)) (A000700).

FORMULA

Expansion of 64 + q^(-1) * (phi(-q) / psi(q))^8 in powers of q where phi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions. - Michael Somos Mar 08 2011

Expansion of 64 + (eta(q) / eta(q^2))^24 in powers of q. - Michael Somos Mar 08 2011

j_2 = E_{\gamma, 2}^2 / E_{\infty, 4} in the notation of Brent where E_{\gamma, 2} is g.f. for A004011 and E_{\infty, 4} is g.f. for A007331. - Michael Somos Mar 08 2011

G.f.: 64 + q^(-1) * (Product_{k>0} 1 + x^k)^(-24). - Michael Somos Mar 08 2011

EXAMPLE

j_2 = 1/q + 40 + 276*q - 2048*q^2 + 11202*q^3 - 49152*q^4 + 184024*q^5 + ...

max = 21; f[x_] := Product[ 1 + x^k, {k, 1, max}]^(-24); coes = CoefficientList[ Series[ f[x], {x, 0, max} ], x]; a[n_] := coes[[n+2]]; a[0] = 40; Table[a[n], {n, -1, max-1}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 03 2011, after Michael Somos *)
