This is a continuation of our previous paper [Fourier expansion of Arakawa lifting I: An explicit formula and examples of non-vanishing lifts, Israel J. Math. 187 (2012) 317-369]. The aim of the paper here is to study the Fourier coefficients of Arakawa lifts in relation with central values of automorphic L-functions. In the previous paper we provide an explicit formula for the Fourier coefficients in terms of toral integrals of automorphic forms on multiplicative groups of quaternion algebras. In this paper, after studying explicit relations between the toral integrals and the central L-values, we explicitly determine the constant of proportionality relating the square norm of a Fourier coefficient of an Arakawa lift with the central L-value. We can relate the square norm with the central value of some L-function of convolution type attached to the lift and a Hecke character. We also discuss the existence of strictly positive central values of the L-functions in our concern.

It is proved that certain types of modular cusp forms generate irreducible automorphic representations of the underlying algebraic group. Analogous Archimedean and non-Archimedean local statements are also given.

In this paper we provide a construction of theta series on the real symplectic group of signature (1, 1) or the 4-dimensional hyperbolic space. We obtain these by considering the restriction of some vector-valued singular theta series on the unitary group of signature (2, 2) to this indefinite symplectic group. Our (vector-valued) theta series are proved to have algebraic Fourier coefficients, and lead to a new explicit construction of automorphic forms generating quaternionic discrete series representations and automorphic functions on the hyperbolic space.

Given an elliptic cusp form f and an automorphic form f′ on a definite quaternion algebra over ℚ, there is a theta lifting from (f, f′) to an automorphic form L(f, f′) on the quaternion unitary group GSp(1, 1) generating quaternionic discrete series at the Archimedean place. The aim of this paper is to provide an explicit formula for Fourier coefficients of L(f, f′) in terms of periods of f and f′ with respect to a unitary character χ of an imaginary quadratic field. As an application, we show the existence of (f, f′) with L(f, f′) ≠ 0.

Tsuneo Arakawa formulated a theta lifting from elliptic cusp forms to automorphic forms on Sp(1,q) in his unpublished note, which was inspired by "Kudla lifting", i.e. a theta lifting from elliptic modular forms to holomorphic automorphic forms on SU(1,q). We prove that the images of Arakawa's theta lifting belong to the space of bounded automorphic forms generating quaternionic discrete series, which are non-holomorphic forms. In the appendix we provide the construction of Eisenstein series and Poincare series generating such discrete series.

T. Arakawa. in his Unpublished note, constructed and Studied it theta lifting front elliptic cusp forms to automorphic forms on the quaternion unitary group Of Signature (1. q), The second named author proved that such a lifting provides bounded (or cuspidal) automorphic forms generating quaternionic discrete series. In this paper. restricting ourselves to the case of q = 1. we reformulate Arakawa's theta lifting as it theta correspondence in the adelic setting and determine a commutation relation of Hecke operators satisfied by the lifting. As in application, we show that the theta lift of an elliptic Hecke eigenform is also it Hecke eigenform On the quaternion unitary group. We furthermore Study the spinor L-function attached to the theta lift.

The aim of this paper is to develop the notion of the Fourier expansion of automotphic forms on Sp(1, q) generating quaternionic discrete series, which are non-holomorphic forms. There is such an expansion given by Tsuneo Arakawa, assuming the boundedness of the forms and the integrability of the discrete series. We study these automorphic forms without such assumptions. When q > 1 we prove the "Koecher principle" for such automorphic forms, whose validity is known for holomorphic automorphic forms except elliptic modular forms. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

For holomorphic modular forms,on tube domains, there are two types of known Fourier expansions, i.e. the classical Fourier expansion and the Fourier-Jacobi expansion. Either of them is along a maximal parabolic subgroup. In this paper, we discuss Fourier expansion of holomorphic modular forms on tube domains of classical type along the minimal parabolic subgroup. We also relate our Fourier expansion to the two known ones in terms of Fourier coefficients and theta series appearing in these expansions.
