Abstract

Using maps due to Ozeki and Broué-Enguehard between graded spaces of invariants for certain finite groups and the algebra of modular forms of even weight we equip these invariants spaces with a differential operator which gives them the structure of a Rankin-Cohen algebra. A direct interpretation of the Rankin-Cohen bracket in terms of transvectant for the group SL(2, C) is given.
