Mixed automorphic forms, torus bundles, and Jacobi forms (Q1889981)

This book discusses about various topics that center around equivariant holomorphic maps of Hermitian symmetric domains. In particular, this book contains a comprehensive exposition of mixed automorphic forms that has never appeared in book form. Equivariant holomorphic maps \(\tau :{\mathcal D}\to{\mathcal D}'\) of Hermitian symmetric domains \(\mathcal D\) to \(\mathcal D'\) can be used to define mixed automorphic forms on \(\mathcal D\). In particular, if \(\mathcal D'\) is a Siegel upper half space, then \(\tau\) determines a complex torus bundle over the locally symmetric space \(\Gamma\setminus{\mathcal D}\), with a suitable discrete subgroup in the action group \(G\) on \(\mathcal D\). This torus bundle is often a family of polarized abelian varieties. They are closely related to various topics in number theory and algebraic geometry. Holomorphic forms of the highest degree on such a torus bundle can be identified with mixed automorphic forms on \(\mathcal D\) of certain type. Mixed automorphic forms can be used to construct an embedding of the same torus bundle into a complex projective space. On the other hand, sections of a certain line bundle over this torus bundle can be regarded as Jacobi forms on the Hermitian symmetric domain \(\mathcal D\). The main goal of this book is to explore connections among complex torus bundles, mixed automorphic forms, and Jacobi forms of the type described above. Both number-theoretic and algebro-geometric aspects of such connections and related topics are discussed here.
