As has been known since the work of F.K.C. Rankin and H.P.F. Swinnerton-Dyer [8], the values of j(τ) at the zeros in H of the Eisenstein series Ek(τ) of any weight k on SL2(Z) always lie in the interval [0, 1728], or equivalently, all the zeros of Ek(τ) in the standard fundamental domain lie on the unit circle. This result was generalized by R.A. Rankin [7] to certain Poincare series. Furthermore, the zeros of Atkin’s orthogonal polynomials, as well as of certain “hypergeometric modular form”, both of which are studied in a joint paper by D. Zagier and Kaneko [5] and have an intimate connection to the j-invariants of supersingular elliptic curves, have the same property. (Here we mention that the Eisenstein series is also related to the supersingular j-invariants [9].) Our Theorem 1 supplies another example with this seemingly peculiar, and not yet fully understood property of zeros.
