On Hecke eigenforms of half-integral weight (Q811553)

The following result is proved: let \(S^ +_{k+1/2}\) be the space of cusp forms of weight \(k+1/2\) \((k\in\mathbb{Z})\) on \(\Gamma_ 0(4)\) whose \(n\)- th Fourier coefficients vanish unless \((-1)^ kn\equiv 0,1 \pmod 4\). Let \(f\) resp. \(g\) be two non-zero Hecke eigenforms in \(S^ +_{k+1/2}\) with Fourier coefficients \(a(n)\) resp. \(b(n)\) and suppose that \(a(| D|)=b(| D|)\) for all fundamental discriminants \(D\) with \((- 1)^ kD>0\). Furthermore, suppose that \(f\) and \(g\) have the same eigenvalue under the natural Hecke operator of index 2. Then \(f=g\).
