Fourier–Jacobi periods of classical Saito–Kurokawa lifts

Abstract

Kohnen–Skoruppa (Invent Math 95(3): 541–558, 1989) proved a formula for the ratio of the Petersson inner products of the half integral weight modular form and its Saito–Kurokawa lifting. We give an interpretation of this formula in the framework of the refined Gan–Gross–Prasad conjecture. This provides us with an example of the refined Gan–Gross–Prasad conjecture for the nontempered representations.
