This paper proves a conjecture regarding quasimodular forms detecting primes by analyzing Fourier coefficients.
Motivated by weighted partitions of n that vanish if and only if n is a prime, Craig, van Ittersum, and Ono conjectured a classification of quasimodular forms which detect primes in the sense that the n -th Fourier coefficient vanishes if and only if n is a prime. In this paper, we prove this conjecture by showing that Fourier coefficients of quasimodular cusp forms exhibit infinitely many sign changes.
