On the congruences primes of Saito-Kurokawa lifts of odd square-free level (Q2275749)

Let \(k\in \mathbb{N}, k>2\) be even, \(M\in \mathbb{N}\) be squarefree. Given an elliptic newform \(f\in S^{new}_{2k-2} (\Gamma_0(M))\) one can associate a Siegel eigenform \(F_f\in S_k(\Gamma_0^{(2)}(M))\), the so called Saito-Kurokawa lift. If \(M=1\) Katsurada conjectured a classification of the congruence primes of \(F_f\) in terms of divisibility of \(L_{alg} (k,f)\). The author extends this conjecture to odd squarefree \(M\). Evidence is provided by constructing a congruence.
