Let⌈be a subgroup of the modular groupPSL(2,Z) then⌈acts on the upper half planeH={zЄC: Imz> 0} and we can form the Riemann surfaceM=H/⌈, see [3]. The complex line bundles on a Riemann surfaceMform a groupH1(M,*), see [4], and whenever we raise a line bundle to a power it will be in this group. Letκdenote the canonical bundle onMthen a modular form of weightνis a section of the bundle. A modularn-jet is then a section ofJnthen-th jet bundle, see [7]. We can reformulate these ideas in the following terms. A modular form can be viewed as a functionΦ: H→Cand a modularn-jet as a vector valued functionΦ: H → Cn+1both of which satisfy a transformation law under the elements ofΓ.

We make a detailed study of the generalized modular forms of weight zero and their associated multiplier systems (characters) on an arbitrary subgroup Γ of finite index in the modular group. Among other things, we show that every generalized divisor on the compact Riemann surface associated to Γ is the divisor of a modular form (with unitary character) which is unique up to scalars. This extends a result of Petersson, and has applications to the Eichler cohomology.

AbstractWe prove the following theorem. Suppose that F = ( f1, f2) is a 2-dimensional, vectorvalued modular form on SL2(ℤ) whose component functions f1, f2 have rational Fourier coefficients with bounded denominators. Then f1, f2 are classical modular forms on a congruence subgroup of the modular group.

Abstract Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. Given a continuous vector-valued function $F \in C(X, \mathbb {R}^{d})$ called a potential, we define its rotation set $R(F)$ as the set of integrals of F with respect to all T-invariant probability measures, which is a convex body of $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ . In this paper we study the geometry of rotation sets. We prove that if T is a non-uniquely ergodic topological dynamical system with a dense set of periodic measures, then the map $R(\cdot )$ is open with respect to the uniform topologies. As a consequence, we obtain that the rotation set of a generic potential is strictly convex and has $C^{1}$ boundary. Furthermore, we prove that the map $R(\cdot )$ is surjective, extending a result of Kucherenko and Wolf.

Abstract In this note we study the rough singular integral $$ T_{\varOmega }f(x)=\mathrm{p.v.} \int _{\mathbb{R}^{n}}f(x-y)\frac{\varOmega (y/ \vert y \vert )}{ \vert y \vert ^{n}}\,dy, $$ T Ω f ( x ) = p . v . ∫ R n f ( x − y ) Ω ( y / | y | ) | y | n d y , where $n\geq 2$ n ≥ 2 and Ω is a function in $L\log L(\mathrm{S} ^{n-1})$ L log L ( S n − 1 ) with vanishing integral. We prove that $T_{\varOmega }$ T Ω is bounded on the mixed radial-angular spaces $L_{|x|}^{p}L_{\theta }^{\tilde{p}}( \mathbb{R}^{n})$ L | x | p L θ p ˜ ( R n ) , on the vector-valued mixed radial-angular spaces $L_{|x|}^{p}L_{\theta }^{\tilde{p}}(\mathbb{R}^{n},\ell ^{\tilde{p}})$ L | x | p L θ p ˜ ( R n , ℓ p ˜ ) and on the vector-valued function spaces $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n}, \ell ^{\tilde{p}})$ L p ( R n , ℓ p ˜ ) if $1<\tilde{p}\leq p<\tilde{p}n/(n-1)$ 1 < p ˜ ≤ p < p ˜ n / ( n − 1 ) or $\tilde{p}n/(\tilde{p}+n-1)< p\leq \tilde{p}<\infty $ p ˜ n / ( p ˜ + n − 1 ) < p ≤ p ˜ < ∞ . The same conclusions hold for the well-known Riesz transforms and directional Hilbert transforms. It should be pointed out that our proof is based on the Calderón–Zygmund’s rotation method.

AbstractThe paper has two relatively distinct but connected goals; the first is to define the notion of Padé approximation of Weyl–Stiltjes transforms on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface of higher genus. The data consists of a contour in the Riemann surface and a measure on it, together with the additional datum of a local coordinate near a point and a divisor of degree g. The denominators of the resulting Padé-like approximation also satisfy an orthogonality relation and are sections of appropriate line bundles. A Riemann–Hilbert problem for a square matrix of rank two is shown to characterize these orthogonal sections, in a similar fashion to the ordinary orthogonal polynomial case. The second part extends this idea to explore its connection to integrable systems. The same data can be used to define a pairing between two sequences of line bundles. The locus in the deformation space where the pairing becomes degenerate for fixed degree coincides with the zeros of a “tau” function. We show how this tau function satisfies the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy with respect to either deformation parameters, and a certain modification of the 2-Toda hierarchy when considering the whole sequence of tau functions. We also show how this construction is related to the Krichever construction of algebro-geometric solutions.

AbstractIn our previous paper [J. Funke and J. Millson, Cycles with local coefficients for orthogonal groups and vector-valued Siegel modular forms, American J. Math. 128 (2006), 899–948], we established a correspondence between vector-valued holomorphic Siegel modular forms and cohomology with local coefficients for local symmetric spaces $X$ attached to real orthogonal groups of type $(p, q)$. This correspondence is realized using theta functions associated with explicitly constructed ‘special’ Schwartz forms. Furthermore, the theta functions give rise to generating series of certain ‘special cycles’ in $X$ with coefficients.In this paper, we study the boundary behaviour of these theta functions in the non-compact case and show that the theta functions extend to the Borel–Sere compactification $ \overline{X} $ of $X$. However, for the $ \mathbb{Q} $-split case for signature $(p, p)$, we have to construct and consider a slightly larger compactification, the ‘big’ Borel–Serre compactification. The restriction to each face of $ \overline{X} $ is again a theta series as in [J. Funke and J. Millson, loc. cit.], now for a smaller orthogonal group and a larger coefficient system.As an application we establish in certain cases the cohomological non-vanishing of the special (co)cycles when passing to an appropriate finite cover of $X$. In particular, the (co)homology groups in question do not vanish. We deduce as a consequence a sharp non-vanishing theorem for ${L}^{2} $-cohomology.

This paper studies modular forms of rank four and level one. There are two possibilities for the isomorphism type of the space of modular forms that can arise from an irreducible representation of the modular group of rank four, and we describe when each case occurs for general choices of exponents for the [Formula: see text]-matrix. In the remaining sections we describe how to write down the corresponding differential equations satisfied by minimal weight forms, and how to use these minimal weight forms to describe the entire graded module of holomorphic modular forms. Unfortunately, the differential equations that arise can only be solved recursively in general. We conclude the paper by studying the cases of tensor products of two-dimensional representations, symmetric cubes of two-dimensional representations, and inductions of two-dimensional representations of the subgroup of the modular group of index two. In these cases, the differential equations satisfied by minimal weight forms can be solved exactly.
