Theta functions of quadratic forms over imaginary quadratic fields

چکیده
is a modular form of weight n/2 on Γ0(N), where N is the level of Q, i.e. NQ−1 is integral and NQ−1 has even diagonal entries. This was proved by Schoeneberg [5] for even n and by Pfetzer [3] for odd n. Shimura [6] uses the Poisson summation formula to generalize their results for arbitrary n and he also computes the theta multiplier explicitly. Stark [8] gives a different proof by converting θQ(z) into a symplectic theta function and then using the transformation formula for the symplectic theta function. In [4], we apply Stark’s method and use theta functions of indefinite quadratic forms to construct modular forms over totally real number fields. In this paper, we define theta functions attached to quadratic forms over imaginary quadratic fields. We show that these theta functions are modular forms of weight n/2 on some Γ0 groups by regarding them as symplectic theta functions and then applying well known results for symplectic theta functions. In particular, the main result of [8] allows us to compute the theta multiplier for our theta functions in a very elegant way.

Theta Functions of Indefinite Quadratic Forms over Real Number Fields
We define theta functions attached to indefinite quadratic forms over real number fields and prove that these theta functions are Hilbert modular forms by regarding them as specializations of symplectic theta functions. The eighth root of unity which arises under modular transformations is determined explicitly.

We study the properties of Eisenstein-Kronecker numbers, which are related to special values of Hecke L-function of imaginary quadratic fields. We prove that the generating function of these numbers is a reduced (normalized or canonical in some literature) theta function associated to the Poincaré bundle of an elliptic curve. We introduce general methods to study the algebraic and p-adic proper...
متن کاملTheta lifts of Bianchi modular forms and applications to paramodularity
We explain how the work of Johnson-Leung and Roberts on lifting Hilbert modular forms for real quadratic fields to Siegel modular forms can be adapted to imaginary quadratic fields. For this, we use archimedean results from Harris, Soudry and Taylor and replace the global arguments of Roberts by the non-vanishing result of Takeda. As an application of our lifting result, we exhibit an abelian s...
