We establish an asymptotic formula with a power savings in the error term for traces of cycle integrals of the classical modular j-function j(z) = q−1 + 744 + 196884q + 21493760q + · · · . This implies a conjecture of Duke, Imamoḡlu, and Tóth [DIT, eq. (1.25)]. Duke Mathematical Journal, vol. 161 (2012), 1971–2000.

The Duke IE database contains records collected prospectively on >800 cases of definite and possible IE since 1984. Databases on echocardiograms and on patients with Stap...
