Fourier expansion of holomorphic modular forms on classical lie groups of tube type along the minimal parabolic subgroup

For holomorphic modular forms on tube domains, there are two types of known Fourier expansions, i.e. the classical Fourier expansion and the Fourier-Jacobi expansion. Either of them is along a maximal parabolic subgroup. In this paper, we discuss Fourier expansion of holomorphic modular forms on tube domains of classical type along the minimal parabolic subgroup. We also relate our Fourier expansion to the two known ones in terms of Fourier coefficients and theta series appearing in these expansions.     

Congruences between Siegel modular forms

Using the moduli theory of abelian varieties and a recent result of Böcherer-Nagaoka on lifting of the generalized Hasse invariant, we show congruences between the weights of Siegel modular forms with congruent Fourier expansions. This result implies that the weights of p-adic Siegel modular forms are well defined.     

Hermitian modular forms congruent to 1 modulo p

For any natural number and any prime (mod 4) not dividing there is a Hermitian modular form of arbitrary genus n over that is congruent to 1 modulo p which is a Hermitian theta series of an O_L-lattice of rank p − 1 admitting a fixed point free automorphism of order p. It is shown that also for non-free lattices such theta series are modular forms. Received: 29 October 2008

Some characters of Kac and Wakimoto and nonholomorphic modular functions

Answering a question of Kac, we relate the character formulas for certain sℓ(m, 1)^ modules to automorphic forms. We show that these q-series are the “holomorphic parts” of nonholomorphic modular functions.

Pull-back of currents by holomorphic maps

We define the pull-back operator, associated to a meromorphic transform, on several types of currents. We also give a simple proof to a version of a classical theorem on the extension of currents.     

On characteristic twists of multiple Dirichlet series associated to Siegel cusp forms

We define a twisted two complex variables Rankin-Selberg convolution of Siegel cusp forms of degree 2. We find its group of functional equations and prove its analytic continuation to . As an application we obtain a non-vanishing result for special values of the Fourier Jacobi coefficients. We also prove the analytic properties for the characteristic twists of convolutions of Jacobi cusp forms. Research Supported by Fondecyt grants 1061147, 7060241.     

Quotients of values of the Dedekind Eta function

Inspired by Riemann’s work on certain quotients of the Dedekind Eta function, in this paper we investigate the value distribution of quotients of values of the Dedekind Eta function in the complex plane, using the form , where A _j-1 and A _j are matrices whose rows are the coordinates of consecutive visible lattice points in a dilation XΩ of a fixed region Ω in , and z is a fixed complex number in the upper half plane. In particular, we show that the limiting distribution of these quotients depends heavily on the index of Farey fractions which was first introduced and studied by Hall and Shiu. The distribution of Farey fractions with respect to the value of the index dictates the universal limiting behavior of these quotients. Motivated by chains of these quotients, we show how to obtain a generalization, due to Zagier, of an important formula of Hall and Shiu on the sum of the index of Farey fractions. A.

A five-dimensional modular variety

In this note we in the spirit of [1], we give ta structure theorem for a graded ring of modular forms related to the orthogonal group O(2, 5). Our results generalize some results obtained by Klöcker in his Ph.D thesis.     

Newforms of squarefree level and theta series

We show that the cuspidal part of the span of the theta series associated to maximal integral lattices on a definite quaternion algebra over is precisely the space of newforms. Furthermore, using the Eichler commutation relation and an idea coming out of the Yoshida lifting, we show how to express each newform as an explicit linear combination of such theta series. The coefficients of these linear combinations come from cuspidal eigenvectors of Brandt matrices.     

On hyperelliptic modular curves over function fields

We prove that there are only finitely many modular curves of -elliptic sheaves over which are hyperelliptic. In odd characteristic we give a complete classification of such curves. The author was supported in part by NSF grant DMS-0801208 and Humboldt Research Fellowship.     

Estimates of holomorphic functions in zero-free domains

We study functions f(z) holomorphic in having the property f(z) ≠ 0 for 0 < Im z < 1 and we obtain lower bounds for |f(z)| for 0 < Im z < 1. In our analysis we deal with scalar functions f(z) as well as with operator valued holomorphic functions I + A(z) assuming that A(z) is a trace class operator for and I + A(z) is invertible for 0 < Im z < 1 and is unitary for .

Rational torsion of J0(N) for hyperelliptic modular curves and families of Jacobians of genus 2 and genus 3 curves with a rational point of order 5,7 or 10

We describe a way of constructing Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus g ≥ 2, defined over a number field, whose Jacobians have a rational point of order of some (well chosen) integer l ≥ g + 1; the method is based on a polynomial identity. Using this approach we construct new families of genus 2 curves defined over — which contain the modular curves X₀(31) (and X₀(22) as a by-product) and X₀(29), the Jacobians of which have a rational point of order 5 and 7 respectively. We also construct a new family of hyperelliptic genus 3 curves defined over —, which contains the modular curve X₀(41), the Jacobians of which have a rational point of order 10. Finally we show that all hyperelliptic modular curves X₀(N) with N a prime number fit into the described strategy, except for N = 37 in which case we give another explanation.
