Since E_2(x)*E_4(x)/E_6(x) == 1 - 24*Sum_{k >= 1} (k - 10*k^3 - 21*k^5)*x^k/(1 - x^k) (mod 144), and since the integer k - 10*k^3 - 21*k^5 is always divisible by 6 it follows that E_2(x)*E_4(x)/E_6(x) == 1 (mod 144). It follows from Heninger et al., p. 3, Corollary 2, that the series expansion of (E_2(x)*E_4(x)/E_6(x))^(1/24) = 1 + 30*x + 5310*x^2 + 2453220*x^3 + 910100190*x^4 + ... has integer coefficients.

From Peter Bala, Nov 16 2024 (Start):

Expansion of ( E_2(x)*E_8(x)/E_10(x) )^(1/24), where E_k(x) is the Eisenstein series of weight k.

Let R = 1 + x*Z[[x]] denote the set of integer power series with constant term equal to 1. Let P(n) = {g^n, g in R}. The Eisenstein series E_2(x) and E_10(x) lie in P(4) while the series E_8(x) lies in P(16) (Heninger et al.).

We claim that the series (E_2(x)*E_8(x))/E_10(x) belongs to P(24).

Proof.

E_2(x) = 1 - 24*Sum_{n >= 1} sigma_1(n)*x^n.

E_8(x) = 1 + 480*Sum_{n >= 1} sigma_7(n)*x^n.

E_10(x) = 1 - 264*Sum_{n >= 1} sigma_9(n)*x^n.

Hence, E_2(x)*E_8(x)/E_10(x) == 1 + (12^2)*Sum_{n >= 1} (1/6)*(-sigma_1(n) + 20*sigma_7(n) + 11*sigma_9(n))*x^n (mod 12^2) in R. The polynomial (1/6)*(-k + 20*k^7 + 11*k^9) of degree 9 is integer-valued since it takes integer values for 10 consective values of n (e.g., from n = 0 to n = 9).

Hence, E_2(x)*E_8(x)/E_10(x) == 1 (mod 12^2) == 1 (mod (2^4)*(3^2)) in R.

It follows from Heninger et al., Theorem 1, Corollary 2, that the series E_2(x)*E_8(x)/E_10(x) belongs to P((2^3)*3) = P(24). End Proof. (End)
