5 Recap Let L be a local field, (π, V ) a representation of GSp(4, L), χ a quadratic character of L. In the last talk we constructed the twisting map T χ (v) : V (0) V (4, χ). In this talk we consider the induced map on Siegel modular forms T χ : S k (Γ para (N)) S k (Γ para (Np 4 )). JJL Twisted Paramodular Forms October, / 30

8 Paramodular Forms A Paramodular form, is a holomorpic function on H 2 such that for every ( ) A B g = Γ para (N), C D F k g(z) = λ(g) k det(cz + D) k F (g < Z >) = F (Z). S k (Γ para (N)) be the space of Siegel modular cusp forms of weight k, degree two, and paramodular level N. JJL Twisted Paramodular Forms October, / 30

9 Fourier Coefficients F has a Fourier expansion F (Z) = S A(N) + a(s)e 2πitr(SZ) for Z H 2. Here, A(N) + is the set of all 2 2 matrices S of the form: [ α β S = β γ Let, α NZ, γ Z, β Z, 2 α > 0, det [ A g = [ α β = αγ β 2 > 0. β γ ta, A Γ 0 (N). Since g Γ para (N), we have F k (g) = F and so deduce that a( t ASA) = det(a) k a(s). JJL Twisted Paramodular Forms October, / 30

35 Perhaps the first formula is enough Theorem (Saha) Let F S k (Sp(4, Z)) be such that a(s) = 0 for all but finitely many matrices S such that 4 det(s) is odd and squarefree. Then F = 0. Theorem (Marzec) Let F be a nonzero paramodular cuspidal newform of square-free level N and even weight k > 2. Then F has infinitely many nonzero fundamental Fourier coefficients.

36 Vanishing on the Mass Space Corollary Let the notation be as in our Theorem and assume that k is even and N =. If F is in the Maass space as defined in then T χ (F ) = 0. This is another rather hairy calculation, but the upshot is that we have non-trivial cancellations between the fourteen terms. Further, the terms that cancel with eachother vary with S.
