Review text

In previous work the author applied \textit{H. M. Stark}'s version of the transformation formula for the symplectic theta function [J. Fac. Sci. Univ. Tokyo, Sect. I A 29, 1-12 (1982; Zbl 0497.10022)] and used theta functions of indefinite quadratic forms to construct modular forms over totally real number fields. In the paper under review the author defines theta functions attached to quadratic forms over imaginary quadratic number fields and shows that these are modular forms on some group \(\Gamma_0\) by regarding them as symplectic theta functions. Stark's main result (loc. cit.) yields an explicit formula for the multiplier.
