Cubic Metaplectic Forms and Theta Functions

The book is an introduction to the theory of cubic metaplectic forms on the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space and the author''s research on cubic metaplectic forms on special linear and symplectic groups of rank 2. The topics include: Kubota and Bass-Milnor-Serre homomorphisms, cubic metaplectic Eisenstein series, cubic theta functions, Whittaker functions. A special method is developed and applied t...
