Poincaré square series for the Weil representation

Abstract

We calculate the Jacobi Eisenstein series of weight $k \ge 3$ for a certain representation of the Jacobi group, and evaluate these at $z = 0$ to give coefficient formulas for a family of modular forms $Q_{k,m,\beta}$ of weight $k \ge 5/2$ for the (dual) Weil representation on an even lattice. The forms we construct always contain all cusp forms within their span. We explain how to compute the representation numbers in the coefficient formulas for $Q_{k,m,\beta}$ and the Eisenstein series of Bruinier and Kuss $p$-adically to get an efficient algorithm. The main application is in constructing automorphic products.
