Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to construct modular forms, both for SL27Z (and certain of its congruence subgroups) and for the Hilbert modular group of a real quadratic field. In w 1 we fix a real quadratic field K and even integer k > 2 and construct a series of functions co,,(Zl, z2) (m=0, 1, 2, . . .) which are modular forms of weight k for the Hilbert modular group SL2(9 ((9=ring of integers in K). The form co o is a multiple of the Hecke-Eisenstein series for K, while all of the other co,. are cusp forms. The Fourier expansion of co,. (z 1, z2) is calculated in w 2; each Fourier coefficient is expressed as an infinite sum whose typical term is the product of a finite exponential sum (analogous to a Kloosterman sum) and a Bessel function of order k 1 . The main result is that, for any points z 1 and z 2 in the upper half-plane .~, the numbers m k-1 co,,(z 1, z2) (m= 1, 2, ...) are the Fourier coefficients of a modular form (in one variable) of weight k. More precisely, let D be the discriminant of K, e.=(D/ ) the character of K, and S(D, k, ~) the space of cusp forms of weight k for Fo(D ) with character e; then for fixed z 1, zzc .~, the function
