The main purpose of this paper is to give an intrinsic interpretation of the space Θ(D) generated by the binary theta series ϑf attached to the positive binary quadratic forms f whose discriminant has the form D(f) = D/t2, for some integer t. It turns out that [Formula: see text], the space of modular forms of weight 1 and of level |D| which have complex multiplication (CM) by their Nebentypus character [Formula: see text]. As an application, we obtain a structure theorem of the space [Formula: see text]. The proof of this theorem rests on the results of [The space of binary theta series, Ann. Sci. Math. Québec36 (2012) 501–534] together with a characterization of the newforms f which have CM by their Nebentypus character in terms of properties of the associated Deligne–Serre Galois representationρf.

The two main problems in the theory of the theta correspondence or lifting (between automorphic forms on some adelic orthogonal group and on some adelic symplectic or metaplectic group) are the characterization of kernel and image of this correspondence. Both problems tend to be particularly difficult if the two groups are approximately the same size.

In this paper, we prove a generalization of a correspondence between holomorphic Jacobi cusp forms of higher degree (matrix index) and elliptic cusp forms obtained by K. Bringmann [Lifting maps from a vector space of Jacobi cusp forms to a subspace of elliptic modular forms, Math. Z.253 (2006) 735–752], for forms of higher levels (for congruence subgroups). To achieve this, we make use of the method adopted by M. Manickam and the first author in Sec. 3 of [On Shimura, Shintani and Eichler–Zagier correspondences, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.352 (2000) 2601–2617], who obtained similar correspondence in the degree one case. We also derive a similar correspondence in the case of skew-holomorphic Jacobi forms (matrix index and for congruence subgroups). Such results in the degree one case (for the full group) were obtained by N.-P. Skoruppa [Developments in the theory of Jacobi forms, in Automorphic Functions and Their Applications, Khabarovsk, 1988 (Acad. Sci. USSR, Inst. Appl. Math., Khabarovsk, 1990), pp. 168–185; Binary quadratic forms and the Fourier coefficients of elliptic and Jacobi modular forms, J. Reine Angew. Math.411 (1990) 66–95] and by M. Manickam [Newforms of half-integral weight and some problems on modular forms, Ph.D. thesis, University of Madras (1989)].

Abstract We study rationality properties of geodesic cycle integrals of meromorphic modular forms associated to positive definite binary quadratic forms. In particular, we obtain finite rational formulas for the cycle integrals of suitable linear combinations of these meromorphic modular forms.

In his famous paper, "On certain arithmetical functions", Ramanujan offers for the first time the Euler product of the Dirichlet series in which the coefficients are given by Ramanujan's tau-function. In his lost notebook, Ramanujan records further Euler products for L-series attached to modular forms, and, typically, does not record proofs for these claims. In this semi-expository article, for the Euler products appearing in his lost notebook, we provide or sketch proofs using elementary methods, binary quadratic forms, and modular forms.

AbstractThe modular transformation behavior of theta series for indefinite quadratic forms is well understood in the case of elliptic modular forms due to Vignéras, who deduced that solving a differential equation of second order serves as a criterion for modularity. In this paper, we will give a generalization of this result to Siegel theta series.

In Mathematische Werke, Hecke defines the operator [Formula: see text] and describes their utility in conjunction with theta series of quadratic forms. In particular, he shows that the image of theta series associated to classes of binary quadratic forms in CL[Formula: see text] is again a theta series associated to a collection of forms in CL[Formula: see text]. We state and prove an explicit formula for the action of [Formula: see text] on a binary quadratic form of negative discriminant.

Given a Hecke eigenform f of weight 2 and square-free level N, by the work of Kohnen, there is a unique weight 3/2 modular form of level 4N mapping to f under the Shimura correspondence. Furthermore, by the work of Waldspurger the Fourier coefficients of such a form are related to the quadratic twists of the form f. Gross gave a construction of the half integral weight form when N is prime, and such construction was later generalized to square-free levels. However, in the non-square free case, the situation is more complicated since the natural construction is vacuous. The problem being that there are too many special points so that there is cancellation while trying to encode the information as a linear combination of theta series. In this paper, we concentrate in the case of level p2, for p > 2 a prime number, and show how the set of special points can be split into subsets (indexed by bilateral ideals for an order of reduced discriminant p2) which gives two weight 3/2 modular forms mapping to f under the Shimura correspondence. Moreover, the splitting has a geometric interpretation which allows to prove that the forms are indeed a linear combination of theta series associated to ternary quadratic forms. Once such interpretation is given, we extend the method of Gross–Zagier to the case where the level and the discriminant are not prime to each other to prove a Gross-type formula in this situation.
