On the Fourier expansions of Jacobi forms

Abstract

We use the relationship between Jacobi forms and vector-valued modular forms to study the Fourier expansions of Jacobi forms of indexes p, p2, and pq for distinct odd primes p, q. Specifically, we show that for such indexes, a Jacobi form is uniquely determined by one of the associated components of the vector-valued modular form. However, in the case of indexes of the form pq or p2, there are restrictions on which of the components will uniquely determine the form. Moreover, for indexes of the form p, this note gives an explicit reconstruction of the entire Jacobi form from a single associated vector-valued modular form component. That is, we show how to start with a single associated vector component and use specific matrices from Sl2(ℤ) to find the other components and hence the entire Jacobi form. These results are used to discuss the possible modular forms of half-integral weight associated to the Jacobi form for different subgroups.
