Abstract

For a primitive Hilbert modular form ff over FF of weight kk, under certain assumptions on image of ρˉf,λ\bar{\rho}_{f,\lambda}, we calculate the Dirichlet density of primes p\mathfrak{p} for which the p\mathfrak{p}-th Fourier coefficient C(p,f)C(\mathfrak{p}, f) generates the coefficient field EfE_f. If k=2k=2, then we show that the assumption on the image of ρˉf,λ\bar{\rho}_{f,\lambda} is satisfied when the degrees of Ef,FE_f, F are equal and odd prime. We also compute the density of primes p\mathfrak{p} for which C(p,f)C^*(\mathfrak{p}, f) generates FfF_f. Then, we provide some examples of ff to support our results. Finally, we calculate the density of primes p\mathfrak{p} for which C(p,f)KC(\mathfrak{p}, f) \in K for any field KK with FfKEfF_f \subseteq K \subseteq E_f. This density is completely determined by the inner twists of ff associated with KK. This work can be thought of as a generalization of~\cite{KSW08} to primitive Hilbert modular forms.
