Cycle integrals of meromorphic modular forms and Siegel theta functions

TL;DR

This paper explores mathematical properties of modular forms and their connections to theta functions in number theory.

Contribution

The paper introduces new results on rational cycle integrals of meromorphic modular forms and their relation to Siegel theta functions.

Findings

Certain linear combinations of meromorphic modular forms yield rational cycle integrals.

Cycle integrals of Siegel theta functions are expressed using Hecke’s indefinite theta functions.

Abstract

We study meromorphic modular forms associated with positive definite binary quadratic forms and their cycle integrals along closed geodesics in the modular curve. We show that suitable linear combinations of these meromorphic modular forms have rational cycle integrals. Along the way we evaluate the cycle integrals of the Siegel theta function associated with an even lattice of signature (1, 2) in terms of Hecke’s indefinite theta functions.

Then, the main result of [1] is as follows.

Theorem 1.1

(Theorem 1.1 in [1]) Let \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$k \ge 2$$\end{document} be even and let \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$g \in M_{3/2-k}^!$$\end{document} . Suppose that the coefficients \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$a_g(-D)$$\end{document} are rational for \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$D > 0$$\end{document} and vanish if D is a square. Then, the linear combinations of traces of cycle integrals

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \sum _{D > 0}a_g(-D)\mathcal {C}_D(f_{k,P}) \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

of the individual meromorphic modular forms \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,P}$$\end{document} are rational.

In [11], we gave some refinements of this result and made a conjecture concerning the rationality of the individual cycle integrals of linear combinations of various \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} ’s, which can be viewed as a dual version of Theorem 1.1 for odd k. Our goal is to prove this conjecture.

Theorem 1.2

(Conjecture 2.5 in [11]) Let \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$k\ge 3$$\end{document} be odd and let \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$g \in M_{3/2-k}^!$$\end{document} . Suppose that the coefficients \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$a_g(d)$$\end{document} for \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$d < 0$$\end{document} are rational. Then, the individual cycle integrals

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\left( \sum _{d < 0}a_g(d)f_{k,d}(z)\right) \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

of linear combinations of the meromorphic \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} are rational.

In [11], this result was stated as a conjecture for higher level, even and odd k, and twisted versions of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} . Our arguments also work in this general setup, see Sect. 5.

The proof of Theorem 1.2 follows a method of Bruinier, Ehlen, and Yang (see the proof of [8, Theorem 5.4]). We use the well-known fact that \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} can be written as a regularized theta lift. Then, we interchange the cycle integral with the regularized integral, which leads us to study the cycle integrals of the Siegel theta function \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Theta _L(\tau ,z)$$\end{document} associated with an even lattice L of signature (1, 2). The evaluation of these cycle integrals is the main novelty of this work. Let us describe the result in more detail.

The indefinite quadratic form A defines a vector of negative length in the lattice L, and hence yields sublattices \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$I = L \cap (\mathbb {Q}A)^\perp $$\end{document} and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$N = L \cap (\mathbb {Q}A)$$\end{document} of signature (1, 1) and (0, 1), respectively. Hecke [9] constructed an indefinite theta series \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\vartheta _I(\tau )$$\end{document} associated with the lattice I, which is a cusp form of weight 1 for the Weil representation \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\rho _I$$\end{document} , see (3.3). Moreover, there is a classical holomorphic weight 3/2 theta series \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Theta _{3/2,N}(\tau )$$\end{document} associated to the unary lattice N, see (3.1).

Theorem 1.3

Suppose that \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$L = I \oplus N$$\end{document} . Then, we have

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\left( \frac{\partial }{\partial z}\Theta _L(\tau ,z) \right) {\mathop {=}\limits ^{\cdot }} \vartheta _I(\tau ) \otimes \overline{\Theta _{3/2,N}(\tau )}v^{3/2}. \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

Here, \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\mathop {=}\limits ^{\cdot }}$$\end{document} means equality up to an explicit non-zero constant factor. For the precise version of this result, we refer to Theorem 3.1. The idea of the proof is that \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Theta _L(\tau ,z)$$\end{document} essentially splits as a product of two Siegel theta functions \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Theta _I(\tau ,z)$$\end{document} and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Theta _{N}(\tau )$$\end{document} along the geodesic \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$S_A$$\end{document} , and the cycle integral of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Theta _I(\tau ,z)$$\end{document} yields the Hecke theta series \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\vartheta _I(\tau )$$\end{document} .

Combining the above evaluation of the cycle integral of the Siegel theta function with the theta lift realization of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} , we obtain a representation of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\mathcal {C}_A(f_{k,d})$$\end{document} as a regularized Petersson inner product, which can in turn be evaluated using the theory of harmonic Maass forms. This gives an explicit formula for the cycle integrals appearing in Theorem 1.2 (see Theorem 4.1), from which their rationality can easily be deduced.

Remark 1.4

Following the proof of Theorem 3.1, one can compute the cycle integrals of other Siegel-type theta functions, e.g., of the Kudla-Millson or the Shintani theta functions. However, in all cases that we tried, Hecke’s indefinite theta function \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\vartheta _I(\tau )$$\end{document} was replaced by a non-holomorphic indefinite theta function. This makes the subsequent computation of the regularized Petersson inner product more difficult, that is, we were not able to compute the cycle integrals of the corresponding theta lifts in this way.

This paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we recall the theta lift realization of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} . In Sect. 3, we evaluate the cycle integrals of the Siegel theta function, which is the technical heart of this work. In Sect. 4, we put everything together and deduce an explicit rational formula for the cycle integrals of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} , which also implies Theorem 1.2. Finally, in Sect. 5, we sketch the proof of a higher level version of Theorem 1.2.

Meromorphic modular forms as theta lifts

In this section, we recall the realization of the meromorphic modular form \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} as a theta lift of a harmonic Maass form, following [3]. We consider the even lattice

Using Proposition 2.1, we can write \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,g}$$\end{document} as a theta lift,

Now we take the cycle integral \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\mathcal {C}_A$$\end{document} on both sides. As a preliminary step, we will reduce the power of the outer raising operator \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$R_0^k$$\end{document} . It is well known that \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Phi _L = \Phi _L(R_{3/2-k}^{(k-1)/2}g,z)$$\end{document} is an eigenform of the Laplacian \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Delta _0$$\end{document} with eigenvalue \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$k(1-k)$$\end{document} , see [7, Theorem 4.6]. Hence, a repeated application of [5, Theorem 1.1] gives

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\big ( R_{0}^k\Phi _L \big ) = c_k'\, \mathcal {C}_A\left( R_{0}\Phi _L \right) , \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

Interchanging the cycle integral and the regularized integral gives

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\big (f_{k,g}\big ) = c_k c_k' \int _{\mathcal {F}}^{{{\,\textrm{reg}\,}}}R_{3/2-k}^{(k-1)/2}g(\tau )\cdot \mathcal {C}_A\big (R_0\Theta _L(\tau ,\, \cdot \,)\big )d\mu (\tau ). \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

Now we plug in the evaluation of the cycle integral from Theorem 3.1 to get

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\big (f_{k,g}\big ) = c_k c_k'c_k''\int _{\mathcal {F}}^{{{\,\textrm{reg}\,}}}R_{3/2-k}^{(k-1)/2}g_{I \oplus N}(\tau )\cdot \vartheta _I(\tau )\otimes \overline{\Theta _{3/2,N}(\tau )} v^{3/2}d\mu (\tau ), \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

Here, we used that the maps \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f^L$$\end{document} and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$g_{I \oplus N}$$\end{document} are adjoint to each other. Next, we use the “self-adjointness” of the raising operator to compute

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\big (f_{k,g}\big )&= (-1)^{(k-1)/2}c_k c_k'c_k''\int _{\mathcal {F}}^{{{\,\textrm{reg}\,}}}g_{I \oplus N}(\tau )\cdot R_{-1/2}^{(k-1)/2}\left( \vartheta _I(\tau )\otimes \overline{\Theta _{3/2,N}(\tau )} v^{3/2}\right) d\mu (\tau ) \\&= (-1)^{(k-1)/2}c_k c_k'c_k''\int _{\mathcal {F}}^{{{\,\textrm{reg}\,}}}g_{I \oplus N}(\tau )\cdot \left( R_{1}^{(k-1)/2}\vartheta _I(\tau )\right) \otimes \overline{\Theta _{3/2,N}(\tau )} v^{3/2}d\mu (\tau ). \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

In the last step, we used that \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Theta _{3/2,N}$$\end{document} is holomorphic. By [8, Proposition 3.6], we have

with the constant \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$c_k''' = 4^{k-1}(-\pi )^{(k-1)/2}\sqrt{D}(\frac{k-1}{2})!^2/(k-1)!$$\end{document} . We arrive at

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\big (f_{k,g}\big ) = (-1)^{(k-1)/2}c_k c_k'c_k''c_k'''\int _{\mathcal {F}}^{{{\,\textrm{reg}\,}}}g_{I \oplus N}(\tau )\cdot L_{k+1/2}\left[ \vartheta _I, {\widetilde{\Theta }}_{3/2,N}\right] _{(k-1)/2} d\mu (\tau ). \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

Note that the constants in front simplify to \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$(-1)^{(k-1)/2}c_k c_k'c_k''c_k''' = -(4D)^{(k-1)/2}$$\end{document} . Now a standard application of Stokes’ Theorem as in [8, Theorem 5.4] finishes the proof. \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}

We remark that there is a similar formula for the linear combination of cycle integrals of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,P}$$\end{document} from Theorem 1.1, see [2, Theorem 1.1]. We can now prove Theorem 1.2.

Proof of Theorem 1.2

We show that the right-hand side in Theorem 4.1 is rational. Note that g and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\vartheta _I$$\end{document} have rational Fourier coefficients. Moreover, by [10, Theorem 1.1], we can choose \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\widetilde{\Theta }}_{3/2,N}$$\end{document} such that its holomorphic part has rational Fourier coefficients. Here, we use that the lattice N is of the form \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$(\mathbb {Z},q(x) = -Dr^2x^2)$$\end{document} for some rational number r. It remains to note that the Rankin-Cohen brackets preserve the rationality of the Fourier coefficients.

Generalization to higher level

In [11, Conjecture 2.5], Theorem 1.2 was stated as a conjecture for level \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Gamma _0(N)$$\end{document} and twisted versions of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d}$$\end{document} .

We have the following higher level version of Theorem 1.2.

Suppose that the Fourier coefficients \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$a_g(d,r)$$\end{document} for \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$d < 0$$\end{document} and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$r \in \mathbb {Z}/2N\mathbb {Z}$$\end{document} are rational. Then, the cycle integrals

\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_A\left( \sum _{r \in \mathbb {Z}/2N\mathbb {Z}}\sum _{d < 0}a_{g}(d,r)f_{k,d,r,\Delta ,\rho }\right) \end{aligned}$$\end{document}

are rational.

Proof

This can be proved analogously to Theorem 1.2, so we only give a sketch. First, by [3, Proposition 4.1], the meromorphic modular form \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$f_{k,d,r,\Delta ,\rho }$$\end{document} can be written as a twisted theta lift on the lattice \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$L_N$$\end{document} . We can reduce to the non-twisted case using an intertwining operator for the involved Weil representations as explained in [4]. Then it remains to evaluate the cycle integrals of certain Siegel theta functions associated with a general even lattice L of signature (1, 2). However, note that we did not use the precise shape of L in the proof of Theorem 3.1, so the arguments work exactly the same for arbitrary L, at least for odd k. For even k, the theta lift involves a Siegel theta function of the shape

A computation similar to the proof of Theorem 3.1 shows that we have

Apart from this, the proofs for even and odd k are analogous. \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\square $$\end{document}

Finally, one might speculate that the method from Theorem 3.1 could be used to compute cycle integrals of Siegel theta functions (and the corresponding theta lifts) on lattices of other signatures, e.g., signature (1, n) or (2, n). We hope to come back to this problem in the future.
