cusp form
A cusp form is a modular form
whose first coefficient in any expansion around a cusp is zero. Another more general way to define cusp forms is to consider the forms orthogonal
to Eisenstein series
with respect to the Petersson scalar product
.
The Weierstrass function, also called modular discriminant
is a weight 12 cusp form for the full modular group

The vector space of weight cusp forms for the full modular group is finite dimensionnal and non-trivial for integral greater than 12 and not 14.
