Brent's nonvanishing conjecture for Fourier coefficients of Hecke-group invariants

For m3m\geq 3, write

jm(z)=1qm(z)+n0αn(m)qm(z)n.j_m(z)=\frac{1}{q_m(z)}+\sum_{n\geq 0}\alpha_n(m)q_m(z)^n.

Brent's nonvanishing conjecture. For each fixed integer n1n\geq -1 and every integer m3m\geq 3, one has

αn(m)0.\alpha_n(m)\neq 0.

This follows formally from the preceding interpolation conjecture if the conjectured polynomial factorization has no roots among integers m3m\geq 3; the paper notes that positivity at m=3m=3 is known, but the general assertion remains conjectural.
