Rationality of quaternionic Eisenstein series on $\mathrm{U}(2,n)$
Abstract
Let be the unitary group associated to a Hermitian space over a quadratic imaginary number field . We assume that 2 is unramified in , and the Hermitian space splits at all finite places and has signature , where . A theory of Fourier expansions of quaternionic modular forms on is developed by Hilado, McGlade, and Yan. In this paper, we define a family of degenerate Heisenberg Eisenstein series for on , which is a weight quaternionic modular form, and we explicitly compute their Fourier expansions. We prove that the Fourier coefficients of are rational in a certain sense, and that their denominators are uniformly bounded by an integer depending only on , and . This provides the first family of quaternionic Eisenstein series whose Fourier coefficients are known to be rational or algebraic.
