Automorphic forms, hyperfunction cohomology, and period functions.

From MaRDI portal





\textit{J. B. Lewis} [Invent. Math. 127, 271-306 (1997)] has given a relation between cuspidal Maass forms for the full modular group, and holomorphic functions \(\psi\) on \(\mathbb{C}\setminus(- \infty,0]\) that satisfy \[ \psi(z)= \psi(z+ 1)= (z+ 1)\psi\Biggl({z\over z+1}\Biggr). \] Here the author investigates the invariant hyperfunctions on the circle associated to automorphic forms for a cofinite discrete subgroup \(\Gamma\subset \text{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})\). Lewis's relation turns out to be related to holomorphic functions on the upper and lower half plane representing those \(\Gamma\)-invariant hyperfunctions. By lifting the hyperfunctions to the line, he produces 1-cocycles with values in the compactly supported hyperfunctions. In this way, he arrives at a cohomological interpretation of Lewis's period functions \(\psi\).
