On Shimura's decomposition

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let k be an odd integer ge3 and N a positive integer such that 4midN. Let chi be an even Dirichlet character modulo N. Shimura decomposes the space of half-integral weight cusp forms Sk/2(N,chi) as a direct sum of S0(N,chi) (the subspace spanned by 1-variable theta- series) and Sk/2(N,chi,phi) where phi runs through a certain family of integral weight newforms. The explicit computation of this decomposition is important for practical applications of a theorem of Waldspurger relating critical values of L-functions of quadratic twists of newforms of even weight to coefficients of modular forms of half-integral weight.
