In number theory, the Shimura correspondence is a correspondence between modular forms F of half integral weight k+1/2, and modular forms f of even weight 2k, discovered by Goro Shimura (1973). It has the property that the eigenvalue of a Hecke operator Tn2 on F is equal to the eigenvalue of Tn on f.

Let f be a holomorphic cusp form with weight ( 2 k + 1 ) / 2 and character χ . For any prime number p, let

n = 1 Λ ( n ) n s = p ( 1 ω p p s + ( χ p ) 2 p 2 k 1 2 s ) 1   ,

where ω p 's are the eigenvalues of the Hecke operators T ( p 2 ) determined by p.

Using the functional equation of L-function, Shimura showed that

F ( z ) = n = 1 Λ ( n ) q n

is a holomorphic modular function with weight 2k and character χ 2 .
