A converse theorem for metaplectic Eisenstein series on the double and triple covers of SL2(ℚ(−D))

Abstract

In this work, we prove a converse theorem for metaplectic Eisenstein series on the [Formula: see text]th metaplectic cover of the group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an imaginary quadratic number field containing the [Formula: see text]th roots of unity. This is an analog to previous converse theorems relating certain double Dirichlet series to the Mellin transforms of Eisenstein series of half-integer weight. We also propose a way to generalize this result to any number field.
