Remarks on the theta decomposition of vector-valued Jacobi forms (Q1634426)

Jacobi forms are an important class of modular forms, as they lie between Siegel modular forms of different degrees via the Fourier-Jacobi expansions. This paper constructs a generalized type of vector-valued Jacobi forms, investigates their theta decompositions, and deduced several interesting results. The presentation uses modules like \(\mathbb{Z}^{N}\) and matrices (like Gram matrices) for describing pairings of lattices or maps from one lattice to another. The paper contains several interesting examples for the results that it proves. Considering \(\mathbb{Z}^{N}\) with the standard inner product, one defines a Heisenberg group \(\mathcal{H}_{N}\) (with respect to symmetric matrices). Given a lattice \(L\), for any map from \(\mathbb{Z}^{N}\) into the dual lattice \(L^{*}\), represented by the matrix \(B\), there is a representation \(\sigma_{B}^{*}\) of \(\mathcal{H}_{N}\), which combines with the (dual) Weil representation of \(L\) to a representation of the associated Jacobi group \(\mathcal{J}_{N}\). This allows one to define generalized vector-valued Jacobi forms, on which Hecke operators \(U_{l}\) act. Assuming that \(L\) and \(\mathbb{Z}^{N}\) generate a larger even lattice (not necessarily as a direct sum!), the paper constructs a Jacobi theta contraction map into \(\rho_{L}^{*}\)-valued Jacobi forms with the appropriate indices. This construction also takes Poincaré series to appropriately defined Jacobi-Poincaré series. As applications, the paper proves the existence of isomorphisms between spaces of modular forms forms of odd weight, level 3, and some sign condition and Kohnen plus-spaces of level 4 and half-integral weights, and constructs holomorphic Hermitian modular forms of small weights. The paper is divided into 7 sections. Section 1 is the Introduction, and Section 2 defines the representations and the Jacobi forms with which the paper works. Section 3 introduces the \(U_{l}\)-operators, and Section 4 investigates theta decompositions. Section 5 considers Poincaré (and in particular Eisenstein) series, while Section 6 proves the isomorphisms involving Kohnen plus-spaces. Finally, Section 7 proves the result about Hermitian modular forms of small weight, and gives a table with some examples for small discriminants.
