Abstract. We use Jacobi theta functions to construct examples of Jacobi forms over number fields. We determine the behavior under modular transformations by regarding certain coefficients of the Jacobi theta functions as specializations of symplectic theta functions. In addition, we show how sums of those Jacobi theta functions appear as a single coefficient of a symplectic theta function.
We use the relationship between Jacobi forms and vector-valued modular forms to study the Fourier expansions of Jacobi forms of indexes p, p 2 , and pq for distinct odd primes p, q. Specifically, we show that for such indexes, a Jacobi form is uniquely determined by one of the associated components of the vector-valued modular form. However, in the case of indexes of the form pq or p 2 , there are restrictions on which of the components will uniquely determine the form. Moreover, for indexes of the form p, this note gives an explicit reconstruction of the entire Jacobi form from a single associated vector-valued modular form component. That is, we show how to start with a single associated vector component and use specific matrices from Sl 2 (Z) to find the other components and hence the entire Jacobi form. These results are used to discuss the possible modular forms of half-integral weight associated to the Jacobi form for different subgroups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
