THE BERGÉ–MARTINET CONSTANT AND SLOPES OF SIEGEL CUSP FORMS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 December 2006
Abstract
We give a theoretical lower bound for the slope of a Siegel modular cusp form that is as least as good as Eichler's lower bound. In degrees $n=5,6$ and 7 we show that our new bound is strictly better. In the process we find the forms of smallest dyadic trace on the perfect core for ranks $n \le 8$. In degrees $n=5,6$ and 7 we settle the value of the generalized Hermite constant $\gamma_n'$ introduced by Bergé and Martinet and find all dual-critical pairs.
