Rankin-Cohen operators for Jacobi and Siegel forms (Q1379643)

The authors construct certain covariant bilinear differential operators from \(J_{k,m}\times J_{k',m'}\) to \(J_{k+k'+v,m+m'}\), where \(J_{k,m}\) denotes the space of Jacobi forms of weight \(k\) and index \(m\). As an application, they construct a covariant bilinear differential operator mapping \(S_k^{(2)}\times S_{k'}^{(2)}\) to \(S_{k+k'+v}^{(2)}\), where \(S_k^{(2)}\) is the space of Siegel modular forms of degree 2 and weight \(k\). In the elliptic modular case, these operators were studied by R. Rankin and H. Cohen. It should be noted that a generalization of Rankin-Cohen operators for Siegel modular forms of arbitrary degree was established by the second author and \textit{T. Ibukiyama} in the paper ``Rankin-Cohen type differential operators for Siegel modular forms'' [Int. J. Math. 9, 443-463 (1998; Zbl 0919.11037)].
