Abstract:
In this paper we use theta functions with rational characteristic to construct cusp forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma _g(p)$ of $Sp(g,\mathbb {Z})$.The action of the quotient group $Sp(g,\mathbb {Z}_p)$ on these forms is conjugate to the linear action of $Sp(g,\mathbb {Z}_p)$ on $(\mathbb {Z}_p)^{2g}$. We show that these forms are higher-dimensional analogues of the Fricke functions.References
