Here we formalize the proof of the inequalities by Lee (2024). First, we can rewrite the inequality in Lemma 9.1 as follows.

Inequality eqn:ineqA and eqn:ineqB are equivalent to F(it) + \frac{18}{\pi^2} G(it) > 0 F(it) - \frac{18}{\pi^2} G(it) > 0 respectively.

By eqn:psiS-define from Definition 8.18, \psi_I(it) = (\psi_S|_{-2}S)(it) = (it)^{2}\psi_S\left(-\frac{1}{it}\right) = -t^2 \psi_S\left(\frac{i}{t}\right). Combined with Lemma Lemma 9.4 we can rewrite eqn:ineqA as A(t) = -t^2 \phi_0\left(\frac{i}{t}\right) + \frac{36}{\pi^2} \psi_S\left(\frac{i}{t}\right) < 0 \Leftrightarrow \frac{F(it)}{\Delta(it)} + \frac{18}{\pi^2} \frac{G(it)}{\Delta(it)} > 0 for t > 0, which is equivalent to eqn:ineqAnew by Corollary Corollary 7.25. Equivalences of eqn:ineqB and eqn:ineqBnew follows similarly; just change the sign.

Now, the first inequality eqn:ineqAnew follows from the positivity of each F(it) and G(it).

Both identities can be shown by direct computations. By Ramanujan's identities (Theorem Theorem 7.48) and the product rule for Serre derivatives (Theorem Theorem 7.51), we have \partial_{5} (E_2 E_4 - E_6) = (E_2 E_4 - E_6)' - \frac{5}{12} E_2 (E_2 E_4 - E_6) = \frac{E_2^2 - E_4}{12} \cdot E_4 + E_2 \cdot \frac{E_2 E_4 - E_6}{3} - \frac{E_2 E_6 - E_4^2}{2} - \frac{5}{12}E_2 (E_2 E_4 - E_6) = -\frac{5}{12} (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2) and \partial_{7} (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2) = (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2)' - \frac{7}{12} E_2 (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2) = \frac{E_2^2 - E_4}{12} \cdot E_6 + E_2 \cdot \frac{E_2 E_6 - E_4^2}{2} - 2 E_4 \cdot \frac{E_2 E_4 - E_6}{3} - \frac{7}{12} E_2 (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2) = -\frac{7}{12} E_4 (E_2 E_4 - E_6). Using these, we compute \partial_{10} F = \partial_{10} (E_2 E_4 - E_6)^2 = 2 (E_2 E_4 - E_6) \partial_{5} (E_2 E_4 - E_6) = -\frac{6}{5} (E_2 E_4 - E_6) (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2), and then \partial_{12}\partial_{10} F = -\frac{5}{6} \partial_{12} ((E_2 E_4 - E_6) (E_2 E_6 - E_4)) = -\frac{5}{6} (\partial_{5}(E_2 E_4 - E_6)) (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2) - \frac{5}{6} (E_2 E_4 - E_6) (\partial_{7} (E_2 E_6 - E_4)) = \frac{25}{72} (E_2 E_6 - E_4^2)^2 + \frac{35}{72} E_4 (E_2 E_4 - E_6)^2. Hence \partial_{12}\partial_{10}F - \frac{5}{6} E_4 F = \frac{25}{72} ((E_2 E_6 - E_4^2)^2 - E_4 (E_2 E_4 - E_6)^2) = \frac{25}{72} (- E_2^2 E_4^3 + E_2^2 E_6^2 + E_4^4 - E_4 E_6^3) = -\frac{25}{72} (E_4^3 - E_6^2) (E_2^2 - E_4) = 7200 \Delta (-E_2'). This proves equation eqn:ddf. The second is proved similarly, using Proposition Lemma 7.50 and Lemma Lemma 7.41.

From equation eqn:E2 in Definition 7.17 and Lemma Corollary 7.25, 7200 (-E_2'(it)) \Delta(it) = 7200 \cdot 24 \left(\sum_{n \ge 1} n \sigma_1(n) e^{-2 \pi n t}\right) \cdot \Delta(it) > 0. Negativity of equation eqn:ddg, namely -640 \Delta(it) H_2(it) < 0, follows from Corollary 7.42 and Corollary 7.25.

The second inequality follows from the following two observations. Since G(it) > 0 for all t > 0, we can define the quotient Q(t) := \frac{F(it)}{G(it)} as a function on (0, \infty).

We have \lim_{t \to 0^+} Q(t) = \lim_{t \to 0^+} \frac{F(it)}{G(it)} = \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{F(i/t)}{G(i/t)}. By using the transformation laws of Eisenstein series eqn:E2-S-transform, eqn:Ek-trans-S (for k = 4, 6) and the thetanull functions, eqn:H2-transform-S, eqn:H4-transform-S, we get F\left(\frac{i}{t}\right) = t^{12} F(it) - \frac{12t^{11}}{\pi} (E_2(it)E_4(it) - E_6(it))E_4(it) + \frac{36t^{10}}{\pi^2}E_4(it)^2 and G\left(\frac{i}{t}\right) = t^{10} H_{4}(it)^{3}(2H_{4}(it)^{2} + 5 H_{4}(it)H_{2}(it) + 5 H_{2}(it)^{2}). Since F, E_2 E_4 - E_6 and H_2 are cusp forms, we have \lim_{t \to \infty}t^k A(it) = 0 when A(z) is one of these forms and k \geq 0. From \lim_{t \to \infty} E_4(it) = 1 = \lim_{t \to \infty}H_{4}(it), we get \begin{aligned} \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{F(i/t)}{G(i/t)} &= \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{t^{12} F(it) - \frac{12t^{11}}{\pi} (E_2(it)E_4(it) - E_6(it))E_4(it) + \frac{36t^{10}}{\pi^2}E_4(it)^2}{t^{10} H_{4}(it)^{3}(2H_{4}(it)^{2} + 5 H_{4}(it)H_{2}(it) + 5 H_{2}(it)^{2})} \\ &= \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{t^{2} F(it) - \frac{12t}{\pi} (E_2(it)E_4(it) - E_6(it))E_4(it) + \frac{36}{\pi^2}E_4(it)^2}{H_{4}(it)^{3}(2H_{4}(it)^{2} + 5 H_{4}(it)H_{2}(it) + 5 H_{2}(it)^{2})} \\ &= \frac{18}{\pi^2}. \end{aligned}

Let F be a quasimodular form whose vanishing order at infinity is n_0 > 0, that is, F(z) = \sum_{n \geq n_0} a_n q^{n} with a_{n_0} \ne 0. Then \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{F'(it)}{F(it)} = n_0.

Proof for Lemma 9.11

By Lemma Lemma 7.44, \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{F'(it)}{F(it)} = \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{\sum_{n \ge n_0} n a_n e^{-2 \pi n t}}{\sum_{n \ge n_0} a_n e^{-2 \pi n t}} = \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{n_0 a_{n_0} e^{-2 \pi n_0 t} + O(e^{-2 \pi (n_0 + 1) t})}{a_{n_0} e^{-2 \pi n_0 t} + O(e^{-2 \pi (n_0 + 1) t})} = n_0.

It is enough to show that \frac{\dd}{\dd t} \left(\frac{F(it)}{G(it)}\right) < 0 \Leftrightarrow (- 2\pi) \frac{F'(it)G(it) - F(it) G'(it)}{G(it)^{2}} < 0 \Leftrightarrow F'(it) G(it) - F(it) G'(it) > 0 \Leftrightarrow (\partial_{10}F)(it) G(it) - F(it) (\partial_{10}G)(it) > 0. Let \mathcal{L}_{1, 0} := (\partial_{10}F) G - F (\partial_{10} G) = F'G - FG'. Then \frac{\mathcal{L}_{1, 0}}{FG} = \frac{F'G - FG'}{FG} = \frac{F'}{F} - \frac{G'}{G}. The vanishing orders of F and G at infinity are 2 and \frac{3}{2} respectively, so by Lemma 9.11 we have \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{\mathcal{L}_{1, 0}(it)}{F(it) G(it)} = \lim_{t \to \infty} \left(\frac{F'(it)}{F(it)} - \frac{G'(it)}{G(it)}\right) = 2 - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} > 0, so \mathcal{L}_{1, 0}(it) > 0 for sufficiently large t. Its Serre derivative is positive by Corollary 9.9: \partial_{22} \mathcal{L}_{1, 0} = (\partial_{12} \partial_{10} F) G - F (\partial_{12}\partial_{10} G) = \Delta (7200 (-E_{2}') G + 640 H_2 F) > 0. Hence \mathcal{L}_{1, 0}(it) > 0 by Theorem 7.52, and the monotonicity follows.

Proof for Theorem 9.14

First, we prove the first sign condition. By Propositions Lemma 8.14 and Lemma 8.28 we know that for r>\sqrt{2}, g(r)=\frac{\pi}{2160}\,\sin(\pi r^2/2)^2\,\int\limits_0^\infty A(t)\,e^{-\pi r^2 t}\,dt where A(t)=-t^2\phi_0(i/t)-\frac{36}{\pi^2}\,\psi_I(it). From Proposition Lemma 9.1 we know that A(t)<0 for t\in(0,\infty), so this identity implies the first sign condition. /- source paragraph break -/ Next, we prove the Fourier-side sign condition. By Propositions Lemma 8.15 and Lemma 8.29 we know that for r>0, \widehat{g}(r)=\frac{\pi}{2160}\,\sin(\pi r^2/2)^2\,\int\limits_0^\infty B(t)\,e^{-\pi r^2 t}\,dt where B(t)=-t^2\phi_0(i/t)+\frac{36}{\pi^2}\,\psi_I(it). /- source paragraph break -/ Finally, the normalization g(0)=\widehat g(0)=1 follows readily from Propositions Lemma 8.16 and Lemma 8.30. This finishes the proof.
