On fundamental Fourier coefficients of Siegel modular forms

Number Theory 2021-02-09 v5

Abstract

We prove that if FF is a non-zero (possibly non-cuspidal) vector-valued Siegel modular form of any degree, then it has infinitely many non-zero Fourier coefficients which are indexed by half-integral matrices having odd, square-free (and thus fundamental) discriminant. The proof uses an induction argument in the setting of vector-valued modular forms. In an Appendix, as an application of a variant of our result and building upon the work of A. Pollack, we show how to obtain an unconditional proof of the functional equation of the spinor LL-function of a holomorphic cuspidal Siegel eigenform of degree 33.
