Recently, I started to read about automorphic forms and representations on covering groups, e.g. metaplectic groups. I set my first goal as understanding Shimura's correspondence in representation ...

Shimura lifts are correspondence between integer weight and half-integral weight automorphic forms. Half integral weight things are associated to representation of a double cover of $G =SL_2(\mathbb{R}...

Why is that the theory of automorphic forms concentrates on the case of half-integral weight? I read in Borel's book "Automorphic forms on $SL_2$" (Section 18.5) that by considering the finite or ...
