Abstract

Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant~d<11-d<-11, and for 1\ell\geq1, let ψ\psi be a Hecke character of KK with trivial finite conductor and infinite type~(2,0)(2\ell,0). In this work we prove that for any prime p>3p>3, the quotient θψ,θψΩK4, \frac{\langle\theta_{\psi},\theta_{\psi}\rangle}{\Omega_{K}^{4\ell}}, is λ\lambda-integral for a prime ideal λ\lambda over pp, where θψ,θψ\langle\theta_{\psi},\theta_{\psi}\rangle is the Petersson norm of the theta function θψ=θψ(τ)\theta_{\psi}=\theta_{\psi}(\tau) attached to ψ\psi, and ΩK\Omega_{K} denotes the Chowla--Selberg period attached to~KK, and the product i=1hKθψi,θψiΩK4 \prod_{i=1}^{h_{K}}\frac{\langle\theta_{\psi_{i}},\theta_{\psi_{i}}\rangle}{\Omega_{K}^{4\ell}} is rational, where the product is over all hKh_{K} of the underlying Hecke characters.
