Abstract: We provide a formula for the splitting of a congruence subgroup of SL(3,mathbbR) into the double cover of SL(3,mathbbR) in terms of Pl"{u}cker coordinates and prove that the splitting satisfies a twisted multiplicativity. The existence of this splitting and a formula (in terms of a different set of coordinates) was proved by S.D. Miller in an unpublished note; the formula in terms of Pl"{u}cker coordinates is advantageous to the computation of the Fourier coefficients of an Eisenstein series on the double cover of SL(3) over mathbbQ. The computation of these Fourier coefficients will be addressed in a forthcoming work.


In the paper under review, the author provides a formula for the splitting of the congruence subgroup (mod 4) of \(\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})\) into the double cover of \(\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})\) in terms of Plücker coordinates, which is applied in [\textit{E. Karasiewicz}, J. Number Theory 215, 216--260 (2020; Zbl 1472.11118)]. ``The method of proof is as follows: We use Miller's formula to study certain symmetries satisfied by the splitting map (Sect. 3.5). Using these symmetries we can reduce the computation of the splitting on a general element of the domain to an element with more favorable arithmetic properties (Sect. 3.9). On this special subset, Miller's formula can be expressed in terms of Plücker coordinates by a direct computation (Sect. 3.10).
