A basis of eigenfunctions of Hecke operators in the theory of modular forms of genus $n$
S. A. Evdokimov
Abstract:
Let
$\mathfrak M^n_k(\Gamma,\mu)$, where
$n,k>0$ are integers,
$\Gamma$ is some congruence subgroup of
$\Gamma^n=\operatorname{Sp}_n(\mathbf Z)$ and
$\mu\colon\Gamma\to\mathbf C^*$ is a congruence-character of
$\Gamma$, be the space of all Siegel modular forms of genus
$n$, weight
$k$ and character
$\mu$ with respect to
$\Gamma$. In this paper, for a very broad class of congruence subgroups
$\Gamma$ of
$\Gamma^n$, including all those previously investigated and practically all those groups encountered in applications, the author constructs a sufficiently large commutative ring of Hecke operators, acting on
$\mathfrak M^n_k(\Gamma,\mu)$, a canonical decomposition
\begin{equation}
\mathfrak M^n_k(\Gamma,\mu)=\bigoplus^n_{r=0}\mathfrak M^{n,r}_k(\Gamma,\mu)
\tag{1}
\end{equation}
and a canonical inner product
$(\,{,}\,)_\Gamma$ on
$\mathfrak M^n_k(\Gamma,\mu)$. It is shown that the Hecke operators preserve the canonical decomposition (1) and that they are normal with respect to the canonical inner product
$(\,{,}\,)_\Gamma$.
