Abstract

We use Poincar\'e series of K K -finite matrix coefficients of genuine integrable representations of the metaplectic cover of SL2(R) \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R) to construct a spanning set for the space of cusp forms Sm(Γ,χ) S_m(\Gamma,\chi) , where Γ \Gamma is a discrete subgroup of finite covolume in the metaplectic cover of SL2(R) \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R) , χ \chi is a character of Γ \Gamma of finite order, and m52+Z0 m\in\frac52+\mathbb Z_{\geq0} . We give a result on the non-vanishing of the constructed cusp forms and compute their Petersson inner product with any fSm(Γ,χ) f\in S_m(\Gamma,\chi) . Using this last result, we construct a Poincar\'e series ΔΓ,k,m,ξ,χSm(Γ,χ) \Delta_{\Gamma,k,m,\xi,\chi}\in S_m(\Gamma,\chi) that corresponds, in the sense of the Riesz representation theorem, to the linear functional ff(k)(ξ) f\mapsto f^{(k)}(\xi) on Sm(Γ,χ) S_m(\Gamma,\chi) , where ξC(z)>0 \xi\in\mathbb C_{\Im(z)>0} and kZ0 k\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0} . Under some additional conditions on Γ \Gamma and χ \chi , we provide the Fourier expansion of cusp forms ΔΓ,k,m,ξ,χ \Delta_{\Gamma,k,m,\xi,\chi} and their expansion in a series of classical Poincar\'e series.
