Relating Siegel cusp forms to Siegel-Maaß forms

Abstract

In this paper we generalize a well-known isomorphism between the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ for a Fuchsian subgroup of the first kind $Γ\subset\mathrm{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{R})$ and the space of certain Maaß forms of weight $k$ for $Γ$ to an isomorphism between the space of Siegel cusp forms of weight $k$ for a subgroup $Γ\subset\mathrm{Sp}_{n}(\mathbb{R})$, which is commensurable with the Siegel modular group $\mathrm{Sp}_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$, and a suitable space of Siegel-Maaß forms of weight $k$ for $Γ$.
