Construction of Jacobi forms using adjoint of the Jacobi–Serre derivative

Abstract

In the article, we study the Oberdieck derivative defined on the space of weak Jacobi forms. We prove that the Oberdieck derivative maps a Jacobi form to a Jacobi form. Moreover, we study the adjoint of the Oberdieck derivative of a Jacobi cusp form with respect to the Petersson scalar product defined on the space of Jacobi forms. As a consequence, we also obtain the adjoint of the Jacobi–Serre derivative (defined in an unpublished work of Oberdieck). As an application, we obtain certain relations among the Fourier coefficients of Jacobi forms.
