Hecke–Siegel's pull-back formula for the Epstein zeta function with a harmonic polynomial

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the generalization of the Hecke's integration formula for the Epstein zeta functions. We treat the Epstein zeta function as an Eisenstein series come from a degenerate principal series. For the Epstein zeta function of degree two, Siegel considered the Hecke's formula as the constant term of a certain Fourier expansion of the Epstein zeta function and obtained the other Fourier coefficients as the Dedekind zeta functions with Grössencharacters of a real quadratic field. We generalize this Siegel's Fourier expansion to more general Eisenstein series with harmonic polynomials. Then we obtain the Dedekind zeta functions with Grössencharacters for arbitrary number fields.
