Ein Rationalitätssatz für formale Heckereihen zur Siegelschen Modulgruppe. (A rationality theorem for formal Hecke series related to the Siegel modular group) (Q1088710)

The author proves the rationality of a formal Hecke series related to the Siegel modular group \(\Gamma_ n=Sp(n; {\mathbb{Z}})\). Given a prime number p, one deals with the p-component of the Hecke algebra related to the pair \((\Gamma_ n, Sp(n;{\mathbb{Q}}))\) and the attached isomorphism Q in the sense of \textit{E. Freitag} [Siegelsche Modulfunktionen (Grundl. Math. Wiss. 254) (1983; Zbl 0498.10016)]. Using purely algebraic methods, it is demonstrated that the identity \[ \sum_{D}Q(\Gamma_ n\left( \begin{matrix} D\\ 0\end{matrix} \begin{matrix} 0\\ D^{-1}\end{matrix} \right)\Gamma_ n)\quad T^{\alpha}=\frac{1-T}{1-p^ nT}\prod^{n}_{i=1}\frac{(1- p^{2i}T^ 2)}{(1-X_ ip^ nT)(1-X_ i^{-1}p^ nT)} \] holds formally in T, where the summation is taken over all elementary divisor matrices D of the form having \(p^{\alpha_ 1},...,p^{\alpha_ n}\), respectively, as diagonal entries with \(0\leq \alpha_ 1\leq...\leq \alpha_ n\); \(\alpha =\sum^{n}_{i=1}\alpha_ i\). This rationality theorem yields several applications: a simple approach to the Andrianov identities [\textit{A. N. Andrianov}, Math. USSR, Sb. 34, 259-300 (1978); translation from Mat. Sb., Nov. Ser. 105(147), 291-341 (1978; Zbl 0389.10022)], explicit formulas for the action of certain Hecke operators on theta series and a representation of the standard zeta-function related to a Siegel modular form, which is a simultaneous eigenform under all Hecke operators. Moreover the solution of the basis problem for Siegel modular forms given by the author [Math. Z. 183, 21-46 (1983; Zbl 0497.10020), ibid. 189, 81-110 (1985; Zbl 0558.10022)] can be simplified.
