Asymptotic expansions for the coefficients of extremal quasimodular forms and a conjecture of Kaneko and Koike

Abstract

Extremal quasimodular forms have been introduced by M.~Kaneko and M.Koike as as quasimodular forms which have maximal possible order of vanishing at $i\infty$. We show an asymptotic formula for the Fourier coefficients of such forms. This formula is then used to show that all but finitely many Fourier coefficients of such forms of depth $\le 4$ are positive, which partially solves a conjecture stated by M.~Kaneko and M.Koike. Numerical experiments based on constructive estimates confirm the conjecture for weights $\le 200$ and depths between $1$ and $4$.
