Vector-valued automorphic forms and vector bundles

Publication date 10 December 2013

Abstract: While vector-valued automorphic forms can be defined for an arbitrary Fuchsian group

G a m m a

and an arbitrary representation

R

of

G a m m a

in GL

(n, m a t h b b C)

, their existence has been established in the literature only when restrictions are imposed on both

G a m m a

and

R

. In this paper, we prove the existence of

n

linearly independent vector-valued automorphic forms for any Fuchsian group

G a m m a

and any

n

-dimensional complex representation

R

of

G a m m a

. To this end, we realize these automorphic forms as global sections of a special rank

n

vector bundle built using solutions to the Riemann-Hilbert problem over various noncompact Riemann surfaces and Kodaira's vanishing theorem.
