A note on the structure of the ring of symmetric Hermitian modular forms of degree 2 over the Gaussian field (Q678792): Difference between revisions

In 1967, \textit{E. Freitag} [Sitzungsber. Heidelberger Akad. Wiss., Math.-Naturw. Kl. 1967, 1. Abh., 1-50 (1967; Zbl 0156.09203)] constructed 6 generators of the graded ring of symmetric Hermitian modular forms of genus 2 over the Gaussian number field using theta-nullwerte. In the paper under review, the author describes this graded ring in terms of generators and relations. The proof is based on Freitag's argument. He introduces new generators, whose Fourier coefficients can be calculated by means of the attached Maass space and the theory of Siegel-Eisenstein series. The generators are of weight 4, 8, 10, 12, 12, 16 and there is only one relation, which has the weight 32.
