Level lowering for half-integral weight modular forms

Abstract

In this paper we provide a level lowering result for half-integral weight modular forms. The main ingredients are the Shimura map from half-integral weight modular forms to integral weight modular forms along with a level lowering result for integral weight modular forms due to Ribet. It is necessary to keep track of the parity of the weight as well as the character involved so that one can apply the Shintani lift to go back to a half-integral weight modular form and establish the result.
