Cycle integrals of meromorphic Hilbert modular forms (2406.03465v1)

Abstract: We establish a rationality result for linear combinations of traces of cycle integrals of certain meromorphic Hilbert modular forms. These are meromorphic counterparts to the Hilbert cusp forms $\omega_m(z_1,z_2)$, which Zagier investigated in the context of the Doi-Naganuma lift. We give an explicit formula for these cycle integrals, expressed in terms of the Fourier coefficients of harmonic Maass forms. A key element in our proof is the explicit construction of locally harmonic Hilbert-Maass forms on $\mathbb{H}^2$, which are analogous to the elliptic locally harmonic Maass forms examined by Bringmann, Kane, and Kohnen. Additionally, we introduce a regularized theta lift that maps elliptic harmonic Maass forms to locally harmonic Hilbert-Maass forms and is closely related to the Doi-Naganuma lift.
