On fundamental Fourier coefficients of Siegel modular forms

We prove that if $F$ is a non-zero (possibly non-cuspidal) vector-valued Siegel modular form of any degree, then it has infinitely many non-zero Fourier coefficients which are indexed by half-integral matrices having odd, square-free (and thus fundamental) discriminant. The proof uses an induction argument in the setting of vector-valued modular forms. In an Appendix, as an application of a variant of our result and building upon the work of A. Pollack, we show how to obtain an unconditional proof of the functional equation of the spinor $L$-function of a holomorphic cuspidal Siegel eigenform of degree $3$.

Petersson norms of not necessarily cuspidal Jacobi modular forms and applications

We extend the usual notion of Petersson inner product on the space of cuspidal Jacobi forms to include non-cuspidal forms as well. This is done by examining carefully the relation between certain "growth-killing" invariant differential operators on $\mathbf H_2$ and those on $\mathbf{H}_1 \times \mathbf{C}$ (here $\mathbf H_n$ denotes the Siegel upper half space of degree $n$). As applications, we can understand better the growth of Petersson norms of Fourier Jacobi coefficients of Klingen Eisenstein series, which in turn has applications to finer issues about representation numbers of quadratic forms, and as a by-product we also show that \textit{any} Siegel modular form of degree $2$ is determined by its `fundamental' Fourier coefficients.
