Theta series liftings from orthogonal groups to semi-simple groups

Abstract

AbstractWe study a correspondence between automorphic forms on an orthogonal group and automorpbic forms on a semi-simple Lie group associated to an equivariant holomorphic map of a symmetric domain into a Siegel upper half space. We construct an automorphic form on the symmetric domain thatg corresponds to an automorphic form on an orthogonal group using theta series, and prove that such a correspondence is compatible with the appropriate Hecks operator actions on the corresponding automorphic forms. As an example, we describe the case of spin groups.
