Harmonic Weak Siegel Maaß Forms I

Abstract

Given a non-holomorphic Saito-Kurokawa lift we construct a preimage under the vector-valued lowering operator. In analogy with the case of harmonic weak elliptic Maaß forms, this preimage allows for a natural decomposition into a meromorphic and a non-holomorphic part. In this way every harmonic weak Siegel Maaß form gives rise to a Siegel mock modular form.
