Abstract

Let ΓSpn(R)\Gamma\subsetneq \mathrm{Sp}_n(\mathbb{R}) be an arithmetic subgroup of the symplectic group Spn(R)\mathrm{Sp}_n(\mathbb{R}) acting on the Siegel upper half-space Hn\mathbb{H}_n of degree nn. Consider the dd-dimensional space of Siegel cusp forms Sκn(Γ)\mathcal{S}_{\kappa}^n(\Gamma) of weight κ\kappa for Γ\Gamma and let {fj}1jd\{f_j\}_{1\leq j\leq d} be a basis of Sκn(Γ)\mathcal{S}_{\kappa}^n(\Gamma) orthonormal with respect to the Petersson inner product. In this paper we show using the heat kernel method that the sup-norm of the quantity SκΓ(Z):=j=1ddet(Y)κfj(Z)2(ZHn)S_{\kappa}^{\Gamma}(Z):=\sum_{j=1}^{d}\det (Y)^{\kappa}\vert{f_j(Z)}\vert^2\,(Z\in\mathbb{H}_n) is bounded above by cn,Γκn(n+1)/2c_{n,\Gamma} {\kappa}^{n(n+1)/2} when M:=Γ\HnM:=\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H}_n is compact and by cn,Γκ3n(n+1)/4c_{n,\Gamma} {\kappa}^{3n(n+1)/4} when MM is non-compact of finite volume, where cn,Γc_{n,\Gamma} denotes a positive real constant depending only on the degree nn and the group Γ\Gamma. Furthermore, we show that this bound is uniform in the sense that if we fix a group Γ0\Gamma_0 and take Γ\Gamma to be a subgroup of Γ0\Gamma_0 of finite index, then the constant cn,Γc_{n,\Gamma} in these bounds depends only on the degree nn and the fixed group Γ0\Gamma_0.
