Kontsevich-Zagier integrals for automorphic Green’s functions. I. (English) Zbl 1379.11057

Summary: In the framework of Kontsevich-Zagier periods, we derive integral representations for weight-\(k\) automorphic Green’s functions invariant under modular transformations in \(\varGamma_0(N)\) \((N\in\mathbb Z_{\geq 1})\), provided that there are no cusp forms on the respective Hecke congruence groups with an even integer weight \(k\geq 4\). These Kontsevich-Zagier integral representations for automorphic Green’s functions give explicit formulae for certain Eichler-Shimura maps connecting Eichler cohomology to Maaß cusp forms. We construct integral representations for weight-4 Gross-Zagier renormalized Green’s functions (automorphic self-energy) from limit scenarios of the respective Kontsevich-Zagier integrals. We reduce the weight-4 automorphic self-energy on \(X_0(4)(\mathbb C)=\varGamma_0(4)\smallsetminus\mathfrak H^\ast\) to an explicit form, which supports an algebraicity conjecture of B. H. Gross and D. B. Zagier [Invent. Math. 84, 225–320 (1986; Zbl 0608.14019)].
