Hermitian Maass Lift For General Level, An Hoa Vu

For an imaginary quadratic field $K$ of discriminant $-D$, let $\chi = \chi_K$ be the associated quadratic character. We will show that the space of special hermitian Jacobi forms of level $N$ is isomorphic to the space of plus forms of level $DN$ and nebentypus $\chi$ (the hermitian analogue of Kohnen's plus space) for any integer $N$ prime to $D$. This generalizes the results of Krieg from $N = 1$ to arbitrary level. Combining this isomorphism with the recent work of Berger and Klosin and a modification of Ikeda's construction we prove the existence of a lift from the space …

In one of his papers, Zagier defined a family of functions as sums of powers of quadratic polynomials. He showed that these functions have many surprising properties and are related to modular forms of integral weight and half integral weight, certain values of Dedekind zeta functions, Diophantine approximation, continued fractions, and Dedekind sums. He used the theory of periods of modular forms to explain the behavior of these functions. We study a similar family of functions, defining them using binary Hermitian forms. We show that this family of functions also have similar properties.
