The purpose of this note is to show how the theta-functions attached to certain indefinite quadratic forms of signature (2, 2) can be used to produce a map from certain spaces of cusp forms of Nebentype to Hilbert modular forms. The possibility of making such a construction was suggested by Niwa [4], and the techniques are the same as his and Shintani’s [6]. The construction of Hilbert modular forms from cusp forms of one variable has been discussed by many people, and I will not attempt to give a history of the subject here. However, the map produced by the theta-function is essentially the same as that of Doi and Naganuma [2], and Zagier [7]. In particular, the integral kernel Ω(τ, z1, z2 ) of Zagier is essentially the ‘holomorphic part’ of the theta-function.
