On sign changes of primitive Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp forms

Abstract

In this article, we establish quantitative results for sign changes in certain subsequences of primitive Fourier coefficients of a non-zero Siegel cusp form of arbitrary degree over congruence subgroups. As a corollary of our result for degree two Siegel cusp forms, we get sign changes of its diagonal Fourier coefficients. In the course of our proofs, we prove the non-vanishing of certain type of Fourier-Jacobi coefficients of a Siegel cusp form and all theta components of certain Jacobi cusp forms of arbitrary degree over congruence subgroups, which are also of independent interest.
