Hecke structure of spaces of half-integral weight cusp forms

From MaRDI portal





Building on results of \textit{M. Ueda} [J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 28, 505-555 (1988; Zbl 0673.10021)], the author obtains Hecke structure theorems for spaces of half integral weight cusp forms \(S_{k/2}(4N,\chi)\), where \(k\) and \(N\) are odd nonnegative integers with \(k\geq 3\) and \(\chi\) is an even and quadratic Dirichlet character modulo \(4N\). The results take the form of isomorphisms between \(S_{k/2}(4N,\chi)\) and direct sums of spaces of integral weight new forms as Hecke modules. One compares these decompositions to Ueda's decompositions of the Kohnen subspace, illustrating more precisely how the Kohnen subspace sits inside the full space of cusp forms. Using these structure results, the author characterizes integral weight newforms \(F\) appearing in the image of the Shimura lift from \(S_{k/2}(4N,\chi)\) for some \(N\) and \(\chi\) as above. This provides significant information about the image of the Shimura lift and gives a classical reformulation of the representation-theoretic conditions given by \textit{Y. Flicker} [Invent. Math. 57, 119-182 (1980; Zbl 0431.10014)] and \textit{J.-L. Waldspurger} [J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 60, 375-484 (1981; Zbl 0431.10015)].
