The notion of quadratic congruences was introduced in the recently published paper [A. Balog, H. Darmon and K. Ono, Congruences for Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms and special values of L-functions, in Analytic Number Theory, Vol. 1, Progr. Math.138 (Birkhäuser, Boston, 1996), 105–128.]. In this note we present different, somewhat more conceptual proofs of several results from that paper. Our method allows us to refine the notion and to generalize the results quoted. Here we deal only with the quadratic congruences for Cohen–Eisenstein series. Similar phenomena exist for cusp forms of half-integral weight as well; however, as one would expect, in the case of Eisenstein series the argument is much simpler. In particular, we do not make use of techniques other than p-adic Mazur measure, whereas the consideration of cusp forms of half-integral weight involves a much more sophisticated construction. Moreover, in the case of Cohen–Eisenstein series we are able to obtain a full and exhaustive result. For these reasons we present the argument here.

Abstract We study the probabilistic behavior of sums of Fourier coefficients in arithmetic progressions. We prove a result analogous to previous work of Fouvry–Ganguly–Kowalski–Michel and Kowalski–Ricotta in the context of half-integral weight holomorphic cusp forms and for prime power modulus. We actually show that these sums follow in a suitable range a mixed Gaussian distribution that comes from the asymptotic mixed distribution of Salié sums.

In 1975, Cohen constructed a kind of one-variable modular forms of half-integral weight, say [Formula: see text], whose [Formula: see text]th Fourier coefficient only occurs when [Formula: see text] is congruent to 0 or 1 modulo 4. The space of modular forms whose Fourier coefficients have the above property is called Kohnen plus space, initially introduced by Kohnen in 1980. Recently, Hiraga and Ikeda generalized the plus space to the spaces for half-integral weight Hilbert modular forms with respect to general totally real number fields. The [Formula: see text]th Fourier coefficients [Formula: see text] of a Hilbert modular form of parallel weight [Formula: see text] lying in the generalized Kohnen plus space does not vanish only if [Formula: see text] is congruent to a square modulo 4. In this paper, we use an adelic way to construct Eisenstein series of parallel half-integral weight belonging to the generalized Kohnen plus spaces and give an explicit form for their Fourier coefficients. These series give a generalization of the one introduced by Cohen. Moreover, we show that the Kohnen plus space is generated by the cusp forms and the Eisenstein series we constructed as a vector space over [Formula: see text].

Abstract We investigate the (still unknown) Ramanujan–Petersson conjecture about the growth of the Fourier coefficients of cusp forms of half-integral weight and prove that it is optimal, at least for newforms in the plus space.

We give an unconditional proof of a result on sign changes of Fourier coefficients of cusp forms of half-integral weight that before was proved only under the hypothesis of Chowla's conjecture.

From a result of Waldspurger [W. Kohnen and D. Zagier, Values of L-series of modular forms at the center of the critical strip, Invent. Math.64 (1981) 175–198], it is known that the normalized Fourier coefficients a(m) of a half-integral weight holomorphic cusp eigenform 𝔣 are, up to a finite set of factors, one of [Formula: see text] when m is square-free and f is the integral weight cusp form related to 𝔣 by the Shimura correspondence [G. Shimura, On modular forms of half-integral weight, Ann. of Math.97 (1973) 440–481]. In this paper we address a question posed by Kohnen: which square root is a(m)? In particular, if we look at the set of a(m) with m square-free, do these Fourier coefficients change sign infinitely often? By partially analytically continuing a related Dirichlet series, we are able to show that this is so.

We extend results of Bringmann and Ono that relate certain generalized traces of Maass–Poincaré series to Fourier coefficients of modular forms of half-integral weight. By specializing to cases in which these traces are usual traces of algebraic numbers, we generalize results of Zagier describing arithmetic traces associated to modular forms. We define correspondences [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We show that if f is a modular form of non-positive weight 2 - 2 λ and odd level N, holomorphic away from the cusp at infinity, then the traces of values at Heegner points of a certain iterated non-holomorphic derivative of f are equal to Fourier coefficients of the half-integral weight modular forms [Formula: see text].
