Title:
On the algebraicity of the Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms
Abstract of Talk
It is well-known that a normalized Hecke eigenform of integral
weight has algebraic Fourier coefficients. Moreover, there
exists a number field containing all these. However, for
half-integral weight modular forms, there are no analogous
results known. In a joint work with Soma Purkait, we show
that the algebraicity of the Fourier coefficients of
half-integral weight modular forms can be determined by
checking the algebraicity of the first few of them. We also
give a necessary and sufficient condition for a half-integral
weight modular form to be in Kohnen’s +-subspace by
considering only finitely many terms.
