Higher pullbacks of modular forms on orthogonal groups

Forum Mathematicum, vol. 33, pp. 631–652

Abstract

Abstract We apply differential operators to modular forms on orthogonal groups O ⁢ ( 2 , ℓ ) {\mathrm{O}(2,\ell)} to construct infinite families of modular forms on special cycles. These operators generalize the quasi-pullback. The subspaces of theta lifts are preserved; in particular, the higher pullbacks of the lift of a (lattice-index) Jacobi form ϕ are theta lifts of partial development coefficients of ϕ. For certain lattices of signature ( 2 , 2 ) {(2,2)} and ( 2 , 3 ) {(2,3)} , for which there are interpretations as Hilbert–Siegel modular forms, we observe that the higher pullbacks coincide with differential operators introduced by Cohen and Ibukiyama.
