The formulation and proof of this statement in fact extends to more general functions such as TTbar-deformed modular and Jacobi forms. We show that the deformation acts simply on their Mellin transform, multiplying it by a universal entire function. Finally we show that Maass forms on the torus are eigenfunctions of the TTbar deformation. https://princeton.zoom.us/j/97195348538?pwd=bEhjczRmbnNIZjNydFpYQXN0bXZ…
