Analytic Properties of an Orthogonal Fourier-Jacobi Dirichlet Series

Abstract

We investigate the analytic properties of a Dirichlet series involving the Fourier-Jacobi coefficients of two cusp forms for orthogonal groups of signature $(2,n+2)$. Using an orthogonal Eisenstein series of Klingen type, we obtain an integral representation for this Dirichlet series. In the case when the corresponding lattice has only one $1$-dimensional cusp, we rewrite this Eisenstein series in the form of an Epstein zeta function. If additionally $4\mid n$, we deduce a theta correspondence between this Eisenstein series and a Siegel Eisenstein series for the symplectic group of degree $2$. We obtain, in this way, the meromorphic continuation of the Dirichlet series to $\mathbb{C}$ as a corollary. In the case of the $E_8$ lattice, we are able to further deduce a precise functional equation for the Dirichlet series.
