Abstract

We study some explicit Siegel modular forms from Weil representations. For the classical theta group Γm(1,2)\Gamma_m(1,2) with m>1m > 1, there are some eighth roots of unity associated with these modular forms, as noted in the works of Andrianov, Friedberg, Maloletkin, Stark, Styer, Richter, and others. We apply 22-cocycles introduced by Rao, Kudla, Perrin, Lion-Vergne, Satake-Takase to investigate these unities. We extend our study to the full Siegel group Sp2m(Z)\operatorname{Sp}_{2m}(\mathbb{Z}) and obtain two matrix-valued Siegel modular forms from Weil representations; these forms arise from a finite-dimensional representation IndΓ~m(1,2)Sp~2m(Z)(1Γm(1,2)Idμ8)1\operatorname{Ind}_{\widetilde{\Gamma}'_m(1,2)}^{\widetilde{\operatorname{Sp}}'_{2m}(\mathbb{Z})} (1_{\Gamma_m(1,2)} \cdot \operatorname{Id}_{\mu_8})^{-1}, which is related to Igusa's quotient group Sp2m(Z)Γm(4,8)\tfrac{\operatorname{Sp}_{2m}(\mathbb{Z})}{\Gamma_m(4,8)}.
