The Fourier-coefficient growth criterion for cuspidality of Siegel modular forms

Let cRc\in\mathbf R, let k0Nk_0\in\mathbf N be a scalar weight, and let FMkn(Γ)F\in M_k^n(\Gamma), where ΓSpn(Z)\Gamma\subset\operatorname{Sp}_n(\mathbf Z) is a congruence subgroup. For all kk0k\geq k_0, suppose that at some cusp there is a bound

aF(T)Fdet(T)ca_F(T)\ll_F\det(T)^c

for every TΛn+T\in\Lambda_n^+ and for some c<kn+12c<k-\frac{n+1}{2}. The Fourier-coefficient growth conjecture. Then FSkn(Γ)F\in S_k^n(\Gamma). This conjecture asks when growth of Fourier coefficients characterizes cuspidality; the paper presents results proving the criterion in specified settings, while the stated general form is not assigned a resolution here.
