Every holomorphic modular form of weight k > 2 is a sum of Poincaré series; see, for example, Chapter 5 of (5). In particular, every cusp form of even weight k ≧ 4 for the full modular group Γ(1) is a linear combination over the complex field C of the Poincaré series

.

Here mis any positive integer, z ∈ H ={z ∈ C: Im z>0} and

The summation is over all matrices

with different second rows in the (homogeneous) modular group, i.e. in SL(2, Z).The factor ½ is introducted for convenience.
