We use the relationship between Jacobi forms and vector-valued modular forms to study the Fourier expansions of Jacobi forms of indexesp,p2, andpqfor distinct odd primesp,q. Specifically, we show that for such indexes, a Jacobi form is uniquely determined by one of the associated components of the vector-valued modular form. However, in the case of indexes of the formpqorp2, there are restrictions on which of the components will uniquely determine the form. Moreover, for indexes of the formp, this note gives an explicit reconstruction of the entire Jacobi form from a single associated vector-valued modular form component. That is, we show how to start with a single associated vector component and use specific matrices fromSl2(ℤ)to find the other components and hence the entire Jacobi form. These results are used to discuss the possible modular forms of half-integral weight associated to the Jacobi form for different subgroups.

AbstractIn this paper, we construct a generalization of the Kohnen plus space for Hilbert modular forms of half-integral weight. The Kohnen plus space can be characterized by the eigenspace of a certain Hecke operator. It can be also characterized by the behavior of the Fourier coefficients. For example, in the parallel weight case, a modular form of weight $\kappa + (1/ 2)$ with $\xi \mathrm{th} $ Fourier coefficient $c(\xi )$ belongs to the Kohnen plus space if and only if $c(\xi )= 0$ unless $\mathop{(- 1)}\nolimits ^{\kappa } \xi $ is congruent to a square modulo $4$. The Kohnen subspace is isomorphic to a certain space of Jacobi forms. We also prove a generalization of the Kohnen–Zagier formula.

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].

In connection with the Shimura correspondence, Shintani [6] and Niwa [4] constructed a modular form by the integral with the theta kernel arising from the Weil representation. They treated the group Sp(1) × O(2, 1). Using the special isomorphism of O(2, 1) onto SL(2), Shintani constructed a modular form of half-integral weight from that of integral weight. We can write symbolically his case as “O(2, 1)→ Sp(1)” Then Niwa’s case is “Sp(l)→ O(2, 1)”, that is from the halfintegral to the integral. Their methods are generalized by many authors. In particular, Niwa’s are fully extended by Rallis-Schiffmann to “Sp(l)→O(p, q)”.

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)].

AbstractFor a given cusp form $\phi $ of even integral weight satisfying certain hypotheses, Waldspurger’s theorem relates the critical value of the $\mathrm{L} $-function of the $n\mathrm{th} $ quadratic twist of $\phi $ to the $n\mathrm{th} $ coefficient of a certain modular form of half-integral weight. Waldspurger’s recipes for these modular forms of half-integral weight are far from being explicit. In particular, they are expressed in the language of automorphic representations and Hecke characters. We translate these recipes into congruence conditions involving easily computable values of Dirichlet characters. We illustrate the practicality of our ‘simplified Waldspurger’ by giving several examples.

In this paper we construct modular forms from combinatorial designs, and codes over finite fields. We construct codes from designs, and lattices from codes. Then we use the combinatorial properties of the designs and the weight (or shape) structures of the codes to study the theta functions of the associated lattices. These theta functions are shown to be modular forms for the modular group or for various congruence subgroups. The levels of the forms we examine are determined by the dimensions of the codes and the characteristics of the fields. Using the Lee polynomial of the codes we can write the theta functions as homogeneous polynomials in modified Jacobi theta functions. By extending the underlying combinatorial structure, a modular form of half-integral weight is associated with a modular form of integral weight.
