Precious Siegel modular forms of genus two

From MaRDI portal





Let \(L_{2,3}\) be an integral lattice of signature \((2,3)\) of the form \(L_{2,3} = 2U \oplus \langle -2t \rangle\), where \(U\) is the unimodular hyperbolic plane and \(\langle -2t \rangle\) is the one-dimensional \(\mathbb Z\)-lattice with quadratic form \((-2t)\). Then the associated homogeneous domain \(\mathcal H_{L_{2,3}}\) is isomorphic to the Siegel upper half plane \(\mathcal H_2\) of genus two, and the integral orthogonal group \(PO^+ (L_{2,3})\) is isomorphic to a normal extension of the paramodular group \(\Gamma_t\). If \(\Gamma_t\) is regarded as a subgroup of \(Sp_4 (\mathbb Q)\), then the quotient \(\Gamma_t \backslash \mathcal H_2\) can be identified with the coarse moduli space of abelian surfaces with polarization type \((1,t)\). In this paper, the author describes some of the recent results concerning Siegel modular forms for \(\Gamma_t\) and their applications to algebraic geometry and physics. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0905.00081].
