Continuation of $\sum \sigma_\nu(n) a(n) n^{-s}$ for $a(\cdot)$ coming from a half-integral weight form
In some of my work, I've run into a wall trying to understand whether a Dirichlet series has a meromorphic continuation or not. Let $f(z) = \sum_{n \geq 1} a(n) e(nz)$ be a half-integral weight ...

Half integral weight modular forms that reduce to a nonzero constant modulo a given prime
Let $B_k = \frac{N_k}{D_k}$ be the reduced numerator and denominator of the $k$-th Bernoulli number. For a given prime $p>2$, the (unconventionally normalized) Eisenstein series $E_{p-1}(z) = N_{p-...

Half-integral weight slash operator
I am aware that the correct way to look at modular forms of half-integral weight is on the metaplectic cover of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$. Assume however that we insist on considering them as ...

Why the level of a half integral weight modular form must be a multiple of 4?
Let $\Gamma_0(N)$ be the Hecke congruence subgroup. Let $S_{k+1/2}(\Gamma_0(N))$ be the space of holomorphic forms of weight $k+1/2$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$, where $k\in\mathbb{N}$. How to prove that if $S_{...

A conjecture related to the Cohen-Oesterlé dimension formula of spaces of modular forms for half-integer weights
Denote $\operatorname{dim}(M_k(\Gamma_0(N)))$ by $m(k,N)$ and
$\operatorname{dim}(S_k(\Gamma_0(N)))$ by $s(k,N)$.
Let $N$ any positive multiple of $4$ and $j \ge 1$.
$$
a(N) := \frac1j \left(m \...

Average of Fourier coefficients of a cusp form of half integral weight
Suppose $f$ is a cusp form of half integral weight $k$ w.r.t. the group $\Gamma_0(4)$ ($k$ is not very low, can assume $k \ge 11/2$), and $a_n$ is its Fourier coefficient. The Linnik bound says that ...

No Exceptional Eigenvalues of Weight 1/2 Maass Forms on $\Gamma_0(4)$?
Some colleagues and I were wondering if there is a citation out there which shows there are no exceptional eigenvalues, $\lambda$, of classical weight 1/2 Maass forms on $\Gamma_0(4)$, which is to say ...

Does there exist a half-integer weight theta function which is is equivalent to 1 modulo 4?
Given a quadratic form $F$ in $n$ variables, there is an associated theta function $\theta_F(z) = \sum_{m \in \mathbb{Z}} q^{F(m)}$, which is a modular form of weight $n/2$. Letting $F(m) = m^2$ ...

Why only half-integral weight automorphic forms?
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 ...
