We give an explicit formula to express the weight of $2$-reflective modular forms. We prove that there is no $2$-reflective lattice of signature $(2,n)$ when $n\geq 15$ and $n\neq 19$ except the even unimodular lattices of signature…

A modular form for an even lattice L of signature (2,n) is said to be 2-reflective if its zero divisor is set-theoretically contained in the Heegner divisor defined by the (-2)-vectors in L. We prove that there are only finitely many even…

An even lattice $M$ of signature $(n,2)$ is called $2$-reflective if there is a non-constant modular form for the orthogonal group of $M$ which vanishes only on quadratic divisors orthogonal to $2$-roots of $M$. In [Amer. J. Math. 2017]…

The classification of reflective modular forms is an important problem in the theory of automorphic forms on orthogonal groups. In this paper, we develop an approach based on the theory of Jacobi forms to give a full classification of…

We study the algebras of modular forms on type IV symmetric domains for simple lattices; that is, lattices for which every Heegner divisor occurs as the divisor of a Borcherds product. For every simple lattice $L$ of signature $(n,2)$ with…

Let $l\geq 3$ and $F$ be a modular form of weight $l/2-1$ on $\mathrm{O}(l,2)$ which vanishes only on rational quadratic divisors. We prove that $F$ has only simple zeros and that $F$ is anti-invariant under every reflection fixing a…

We prove that up to scaling there are only finitely many integral lattices L of signature (2,n) with n>20 or n=17 such that the modular variety defined by the orthogonal group of L is not of general type. In particular, when n>107, every…

We show that the ring of modular forms with characters for the even unimodular lattice of signature (2,18) is obtained from the invariant ring of $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathrm{Sym}^8(V) \oplus \mathrm{Sym}^{12}(V))$ with respect to the action of…

Some years ago, Borcherds described in [Bo1] two methods for constructing modular forms on modular varieties related to the orthogonal group ${\O}(2,n)$. They are the so called Borcherds' additive and multiplicative lifting. The…

In this paper we study algebras of modular forms on unitary groups of signature $(n,1)$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an algebra of unitary modular forms to be free in terms of the modular Jacobian. As a corollary we…

One of the main open problems in the theory of automorphic products is to classify reflective modular forms. In [Sch06] Scheithauer classified strongly reflective modular forms of singular weight on lattices of prime level. In this paper we…

We prove that there are only finitely many isometry classes of even lattices $L$ of signature $(2,n)$ for which the space of cusp forms of weight $1+n/2$ for the Weil representation of the discriminant group of $L$ is trivial. We compute…

A strongly reflective modular form with respect to an orthogonal group of signature (2,n) determines a Lorentzian Kac--Moody algebra. We find a new geometric application of such modular forms: we prove that if the weight is larger than n…

This is a continuation of our "Lecture on Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the arithmetic type" \cite{25}. We consider hyperbolic (i.e. signature $(n,1)$) integral symmetric bilinear form $S:M\times M \to {\Bbb Z}$ (i.e. hyperbolic lattice),…

Classical results on the classification of reflections in an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ imply that if the graded algebra of modular forms $M_*(\Gamma)$ is freely generated, then $\Gamma$ must be an arithmetic subgroup of either the…

We classify the simple even lattices of square free level and signature (2,n) for n > 3. A lattice is called simple if the space of cusp forms of weight 1+n/2 for the dual Weil representation of the lattice is trivial. For a simple lattice…
