Jacobi forms with CM and applications (Q2681237)

CM newforms with are those newforms whose associated automorphic representation is stable when tensoring with the character of a quadratic field. Modular forms with CM are then those whose automorphic representations are direct sums of such twist-stable ones. From the perspective of Fourier expansions of newforms this translates to the vanishing of coefficients \(c(p)\) if \(p\) is inert in a fixed imaginary quadratic field \(K\). An early day's notion of CM, used for example by Serre in a pioneering paper on lacunarity, is that a CM modular form is a linear combination of theta series. The author generalizes this notion to the setting of Jacobi forms, defining CM Jacobi forms as specific Jacobi theta series. He then produces a CM Jacobi form in his sense (with contributions from two different quadratic fields), which he denotes by \(\phi_{26}\) and that has the following property: The \(12\)-th Taylor coefficient of \(\phi_{26}(\tau,z)\) with respect to \(z\) equals up to natural scaling equals the CM modular form \(\eta^{26}(\tau)\). Similarly, he provides a CM Jacobi form whose first Taylor coefficient up to scaling equals the CM modular form associated with one elliptic curve with CM. Finally, he provides a ``crank''-generating function that explains a specific Ramanujan-type congruence, employing a similar mechanism.
