Hecke operators on modular forms of half-integral weight (Q1099207)

In the paper [Arch. Math. 32, 158-165 (1979; Zbl 0407.10022)] \textit{Hong- Jen Hsiao} and \textit{Hong-Chang Lee} have proved that the Dirichlet series associated with a modular form f of integral weight for the full modular group has an Euler product expansion if and only if f is an eigenfunction for finitely many explicitly given Hecke operators. In this paper the same problem has been considered for W. Kohnen's \(``+\) space'' of modular forms of half-integral weight for the congruence subgroup \(\Gamma _ 0(4)\). The methods used in this paper are completely different and simpler and also reduce very much the number of conditions given in the above paper for the modular forms over the full modular group.
