Numerical Computation of a Certain Dirichlet Series Attached to Siegel Modular Forms of Degree Two (1009.3198v1)

Abstract: The Rankin convolution type Dirichlet series $D_{F,G}(s)$ of Siegel modular forms $F$ and $G$ of degree two, which was introduced by Kohnen and the second author, is computed numerically for various $F$ and $G$. In particular, we prove that the series $D_{F,G}(s)$, which share the same functional equation and analytic behavior with the spinor $L$-functions of eigenforms of the same weight are not linear combinations of those. In order to conduct these experiments a numerical method to compute the Petersson scalar products of Jacobi Forms is developed and discussed in detail.
