The lifting of elliptic modular forms to Hilbert modular forms and Petersson inner products (Q1032698)

Let \(K\) be a cyclic extension of \(\mathbb{Q}\), which is a totally real number field of discriminant \(q\). Let \(S_k (\Gamma_K)\) stand for the space of Hilbert cusp forms of weight \(k\) and \(S_k=S_k(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})) \bigoplus_\chi S_k (\Gamma_0 (q), \chi)\) for the direct sum of elliptic cusp forms, where \(\chi\) runs through the non-trivial primitive characters associated with \(K\). Saito constructed a Hecke-invariant linear map \(\Psi_k :S_k\rightarrow S_k(\Gamma_K)\) with certain properties. The first main result describes the Fourier coefficients of \(\Psi_k (f)\) explicitly in terms of those of \(f\). From this one can reformulate the lifting by linear relations among the Fourier coefficients. The second main result describes a relation between the Petersson inner products \(<\Psi_k(f), \Psi_k(f)>\) and \(<f, f>\). The ratio equals the critical value of products of certain zeta functions associated to \(f\) at \(s=k\).
