| Abstract: Here we explore the problem of numerically computing preimages of the $j$-invariant. We present an algorithm based on studying the asymptotics of the Fourier coefficients of the logarithmic derivative of $j(\tau)$. We use recent work of Bringmann et al., which gives asymptotics for the Fourier coefficients of divisor modular forms, to identify the real and imaginary parts of the preimage. |
