The Saito-Kurokawa lift space-size conjecture

Let SKk(N)\mathrm{SK}_k(N) denote the space of Saito-Kurokawa lifts of weight kk and level NN, let BkSK(N)B_k^{SK}(N) be an orthonormal basis, and define

BN(Z)=FBkSK(N)det(Y)kF(Z)2,\mathbb B_N(Z)=\sum_{F\in B_k^{SK}(N)}\det(Y)^k|F(Z)|^2,

with sup(SKk(N))=supZH2BN(Z)\sup(\mathrm{SK}_k(N))=\sup_{Z\in\mathbf H_2}\mathbb B_N(Z). Saito-Kurokawa lift space-size conjecture. For all even k4k\ge 4 and N1N\ge 1, one has

sup(SKk(N))k5/2N2.\sup(\mathrm{SK}_k(N))\asymp k^{5/2}N^{-2}.

At level 11, the corresponding weight-aspect size is known to be of order k5/2k^{5/2}, while the paper proves only partial level-aspect bounds for prime levels. The conjecture predicts the additional factor N2N^{-2} and remains open.
