In the earlier article [7], I began the study of rational period functions for the modular group Γ(l) = SL(2, Z) (regarded as a group of linear fractional transformations) acting on the Riemann sphere. These are rational functions q(z) which occur in functional equations of the form where k∈Z and F is a function meromorphic in the upper half-plane ℋ, restricted in growth at the parabolic cusp ∞. The growth restriction may be phrased in terms of the Fourier expansion of F(z) at ∞: with some μ∈Z. If (1.1) and (1.2) hold, then we call F a modular integral of weight 2k and q(z) the period of F.
