Interlacing of zeros of weakly holomorphic modular forms

Abstract: We prove that the zeros of a family of extremal modular forms interlace, settling a question of Nozaki. Additionally, we show that the zeros of almost all forms in a basis for the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $k$ for $\SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ interlace on most of the lower boundary of the fundamental domain.
