Serre and Stark found a basis for the space of modular forms of weight 1/2 in terms of theta series. In this paper, we generalize their result - under certain mild restrictions on the level and character - to the case of weight 1/2 Hilbert…

We generalize the modular invariance approach to include the half-integral weight modular forms. Accordingly the modular group should be extended to its metaplectic covering group for consistency. We introduce the well-defined half-integral…

We prove a natural analogue of the Sato-Tate conjecture for modular forms of weight 2 or 3 whose associated automorphic representations are a twist of the Steinberg representation at some finite place.

We let $f$ be a half-integral weight modular form of weight $\kappa>4$ on $\Gamma_0(4)$ that is an eigenfunction of all Hecke operators $T_n$, so that $T_nf = \Lambda_f(n)n^{\frac{\kappa-1}{2}}f$. Let $\|f\|$ denote the Petersson norm of…

Answering problems of Manin, we use the critical $L$-values of even weight $k\geq 4$ newforms $f\in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ to define zeta-polynomials $Z_f(s)$ which satisfy the functional equation $Z_f(s)=\pm Z_f(1-s)$, and which obey the…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field and let $E$ be the natural representation of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F})$. Given a vector space $V$, let $\Delta^{(2,1^{N-1})}V$ be the kernel of the multiplication map $\bigwedge^N V \otimes V \rightarrow…

In 1973, Swinnerton-Dyer completely classified all congruences for coefficients of normalized eigenforms in weights $k \in \{12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 26\}$ on $\Gamma_{0}(1) = \operatorname{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ using the theory of modular Galois…

We give an explicit formula for dimensions of spaces of rational-weight modular forms whose multiplier systems are induced by eta-quotients of fractional exponents. As the first application, we give series expressions of Fourier…

In this note, we explicitly construct mock modular forms with integral Fourier coefficients by evaluating regularized Petersson inner products involving their shadows, which are unary theta functions of weights 1/2 and 3/2 . In addition, we…

Let $M$ be a left module for the Schur algebra $S(n,r)$, and let $s \in \mathbb{Z}^+$. Then $M^{\otimes s}$ is a $(S(n,rs), F\mathfrak{S}_s)$-bimodule, where the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_s$ on $s$ letters acts on the right by place…

We prove a subconvexity bound in the conductor aspect for $L(s,f,\chi)$ where $f$ is a half integer weight modular form. This $L$-function has analytic continuation and functional equation, but no Euler product. Due to the lack of an Euler…

Let $q:=e^{2 \pi iz}$, where $z \in \mathbb{H}$. For an even integer $k$, let $f(z):=q^h\prod_{m=1}^{\infty}(1-q^m)^{c(m)}$ be a meromorphic modular form of weight $k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$. For a positive integer $m$, let $T_m$ be the $m$th…

We consider the space of Siegel modular forms of genus $g$ of weight two relative to the main congruence subgroup of level 2 and to Igusa's group $\Gamma_g(4, 8)$ and $\Gamma_g(2,4)$.One of the main results of this paper is that in the case…

We look at genera of even unimodular lattices of rank $12$ over the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and of rank $8$ over the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3})$, using Kneser neighbours to diagonalise spaces of…

In this article we give an analogue of Hecke and Sturm bounds for Hilbert modular forms over real quadratic fields. Let $K$ be a real quadratic field and $\Om_K$ its ring of integers. Let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of $\SL_2(\Om_K)$…

We show that the ring of modular forms with characters for the even unimodular lattice of signature (2,10) is generated by forms of weights 4, 10, 12, 16, 18, 22, 24, 28, 30, 36, 42, and 252 with one relation of weight 504. The proof is…

We introduce and study higher depth quantum modular forms. We construct two families of examples coming from rank two false theta functions, whose "companions" in the lower half-plane can be also realized both as double Eichler integrals…

In this paper, we define the multiplicative Hecke operators $\mathcal{T}(n)$ for any positive integer on the integral weight meromorphic modular forms for $\Gamma_{0}(N)$. We then show that they have properties similar to those of additive…

Given a weight 2 and level p^2 modular form f, we construct two weight 3/2 modular forms (possibly zero) of level 4p^2 and non trivial character mapping to f via the Shimura correspondence. Then we relate the coefficients of the constructed…
