Computation of Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms of type $G_2$

Abstract

In a recent work, we found formulas for the Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms of type $G_2$: holomorphic Siegel modular forms on $\mathrm{Sp}_6$ that are theta lifts from $G_2^c$, and cuspidal quaternionic modular forms on split $G_2$. We have implemented these formulas in the mathematical software SAGE. In this paper, we explain the formulas of our recent paper and the SAGE implementation. We also deduce some theoretical consequences of our SAGE computations.
