If f(z) ∈ M 1 (p), then this is the usual Petersson inner product. Now let ĝ(z) ∈ H 1 (p) be a<br />

preimage <strong>of</strong> g(z) under ξ 1 with the following Fourier expansions<br />

where W p = (<br />

ĝ(z) = ∑ n∈Z<br />

c(g, n)β 1 (n, y)q −n ,<br />

(ĝ| 1 W p )(z) = ∑ c + 0 (n)q n − ∑ c(g| 1 W p , n)β 1 (n, y)q −n ,<br />

The expression for (ĝ| 1 W p )(z) follows from the commutativity between ξ 1 and the slash<br />

operator. Note that ∑ n∈Z c+ ∞(n)q n and ∑ n∈Z c+ 0 (n)q n are mock-<strong>modular</strong> <strong>forms</strong> with shadows<br />

g(z) and (g| 1 W p )(z) respectively.<br />

Suppose f(z) ∈ M 1(p) ! has the Fourier expansion ∑ n∈Z c ∞(f, n)q n and ∑ n∈Z c 0(f, n)q n at<br />

the cusp infinity and 0 respectively. Then we can express 〈f, g〉 reg in terms <strong>of</strong> these Fourier<br />

coefficients.<br />

Lemma 3.1. Let f(z) ∈ M ! 1(p) and g(z) ∈ S 1 (p). In the notations above, we have<br />

(28) 〈f, g〉 reg = ∑ n∈Z<br />

c + ∞(n)c ∞ (f, −n) + c + 0 (n)c 0 (f, −n).<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. Since g(z) = ξ 1 (ĝ(z)) = −2iy ∂ĝ<br />

∂z<br />

(29) 〈f, g〉 reg = − lim<br />

Y →∞<br />

and dzdz = 2idxdy, we can rewrite equation (27) as<br />

∫<br />

f(z) ∂ĝ<br />

∂z dzdz.<br />

F(Y )<br />

As an application <strong>of</strong> Stokes’ Theorem, we have<br />

∫ (<br />

f(z) ∂ĝ<br />

∂z + ∂f ) ∮<br />

∂z ĝ(z) dzdz =<br />

F(Y )<br />

∂F(Y )<br />

f(z)ĝ(z)dz,<br />

where the line integral is in the counterclockwise direction. Using the <strong>modular</strong>ity <strong>of</strong> f(z)<br />

and ĝ(z), we can cancel most <strong>of</strong> the contour integral on the right hand side, except the<br />

contributions from the horizontal segment from − 1 + iY and 1 + iY near ∞ and the arc<br />

2 2<br />

center at 0 connecting the points σ 0 (± 1 ∂f<br />

+ iY ). Also, f(z) is holomorphic, hence = 0.<br />

2 ∂z<br />

Thus, the equation above becomes<br />

∫<br />

f(z) ∂ĝ ∫ −<br />

1<br />

F(Y ) ∂z dzdz = 2 +iY<br />

f(z)ĝ(z) + (f| 1 W p )(z)(ĝ| 1 W p )(z)dz.<br />

1<br />

2 +iY<br />

Now combining this with equations (29) and the bound |β 1 (n, y)| = O(e −4πny ), we obtain<br />

equation (28)<br />

□<br />

Remark. Notice that the right hand side <strong>of</strong> equation (28) depends on the choice <strong>of</strong> ĝ(z),<br />

whereas the left hand side only depends on g(z). So if we replace ĝ(z) with h(z) ∈ M ! 1(p),<br />

then Lemma 3.1 still holds and we obtain<br />

0 = ∑ n∈Z<br />

c ∞ (h, n)c ∞ (f, −n) + c 0 (h, n)c 0 (f, −n),<br />

where h(z) has Fourier expansions ∑ n∈Z c ∞(h, n)q n and ∑ n∈Z c 0(h, n)q n at the cusp infinity<br />

and 0 respectively.
