Explicit Hecke eigenform product identities for Hilbert modular forms

Number Theory 2026-03-09 v2

Abstract

Let FF be a totally real number field, and g,f,hg,f,h be Hilbert modular forms over FF that are Hecke eigenforms satisfying g=fhg=f\cdot h. We characterize such product identities among all real quadratic fields of narrow class number one, proving they occur only for F=Q(5)F=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{5}), with precisely two such identities. We also shed some light on the general totally real case by showing that no such identity exists when both ff and hh are Eisenstein series of distinct weights.
