Holomorphic projection for $\mathop{Sp}_2(\mathbb R)$ -- the case of weight $(4,4)$

Abstract

We define non-holomorphic Poincar\'e series of exponential type for symplectic groups $\mathop{Sp}_m(\mathbb R)$ and continue them analytically in case $m=2$ for the small weight $(4,4)$. For this we construct certain Casimir operators and study the spectral properties of their resolvents on $L^2(\Gamma\backslash \mathop{Sp}_2(\mathbb R))$. Using the holomorphically continued Poincar\'e series, the holomorphic projection is described in terms of Fourier coefficients using Sturm's operator.
