Abstract

Given an integral lattice Λ\Lambda of rank nn and a finite sequence m1m2...mkm_1 \leq m_2 \leq ... \leq m_k of natural numbers we construct a modular form Θm1,m2,...,mk,Λ\Theta_{m_1,m_2,...,m_k,\Lambda} of level N=N(Λ)N=N(\Lambda). The weight of this modular form is nk/2+i=1kmknk/2+\sum_{i=1}^k m_k. This construction generalizes the theta series ΘΛ\Theta_\Lambda of integral lattices, because ΘΛ=Θ0,Λ\Theta_\Lambda = \Theta_{0,\Lambda}. We give the qq-expansions of the modular forms Θm,m,Λ\Theta_{m,m,\Lambda}, and Θ1,1,1,Λ\Theta_{1,1,1,\Lambda} and show that (up to some scaling) they are given by power series with integer coefficients.
