Vector-valued orthogonal modular forms (Q6945321)

The memoir under review is devoted to the development of the systematic theory of vector-valued modular forms for orthogonal groups of signature \((2, n)\). The main purposes of this work are to lay a foundation of the theory of vector-valued orthogonal modular forms, to investigate some of its aspects, and to establish several types of vanishing theorems for vector-valued modular forms of small weight.\N\NThis memoir under review deals with general arithmetic groups \(\Gamma < \mathrm{O}^+(L)\), for general integral quadratic forms \(L\) of signature \((2, n)\). It provides a geometric approach and introduces modular forms as sections of the automorphic vector bundles. Trivializations of the automorphic vector bundles and the passage from sections of vector bundles to vector-valued functions are provided for each \(0\)-dimensional cusp.\N\NThe main ingredients of this theory are two Hodge bundles: the Hodge line bundle and the Hodge bundle which emerges in the vector-valued theory, corresponding to the non-abelian part of the maximal compact subgroup of \(\mathrm{O}(2n)\).\N\NThe first section is introductory one, while the second section is devoted to mentioned Hodge bundles. In the third section the vector-valued modular forms are introduced, followed by description of the Fourier expansion. The following five sections are devoted to the geometric treatment of the Siegel operators and the Fourier-Jacobi expansions at \(1\)-dimensional cusp. The final two sections are devoted to the square-integrability of modular forms. Both directions lead to the vanishing theorems for modular forms of small weight, which also imply vanishing of holomorphic tensors of degree less than \(n/2 - 1\) on orthogonal modular varieties, an optimal general bound.
