New simpler characterizations of Saito-Kurokawa lifts
Application of Weissauer's recent result to modular forms
Comprehensive survey of known characterizations
Abstract
There are a variety of characterizations of Saito-Kurokawa lifts from elliptic modular forms to Siegel modular forms of degree 2. In addition to giving a survey of known characterizations, we apply a recent result of Weissauer to provide a number of new and simpler characterizations of Saito-Kurokawa lifts.
