Harmonic Maass-Jacobi forms with singularities and a theta-like decomposition

Journal article, 2015

Real-analytic Jacobi forms play key roles in different areas of mathematics and physics, but a satisfactory theory of such Jacobi forms has been lacking. In this paper, we fill this gap by introducing a space of harmonic Maass-Jacobi forms with singularities which includes the real-analytic Jacobi forms from Zwegers’s PhD thesis. We provide several structure results for the space of such Jacobi forms, and we employ Zwegers’s μ-functions to establish a theta-like decomposition.
