product of modular forms of half integral weight on different congruence subgroups.

88 Views Asked by At

my question is about the theorem 5.11 in the book "complex analysis" from Freitag. It claims that if $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}) = \bigcup_{i=1}^n \Gamma M_i$ for a given congruence subgroup $\Gamma$. And we look after $F:= \prod_{i=1}^n f \vert M_i$ for $f \in [\Gamma, r/2, v]$, then $F$ is a modular form of weight $kr/2$ for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$. I don't understand how $F$ can transform respecting all matrices in $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$. As I see it just transform respecting the intersection of all congruence groups for which one of the forms $f \vert M_i$ transforms. Thanks for your help.

Hari.

Let $A\in\text{SL}_2(\Bbb Z)$. Then the cosets $\Gamma M_i A$ are the $\Gamma M_i$ in some order: $\Gamma M_i A=\Gamma M_{\tau(i)}$ for some permutation $\tau$. Thus $M_iA=C_i M_{\tau(i)}$ where $C_i\in\Gamma$. Then $$F|A=\prod_i f|M_iA=\prod_i f|C_iM_{\tau(i)}=\prod_i f|M_{\tau(i)}=F.$$
