(12) (4) Let ? be the unique even non-trivial Dirichlet character mod 12, and let ? be the unique (odd) non-trivial Dirichlet character mod 4. Consider on the line the distributions m (12) ? d (x)= ?

Then, consider the metaplectic representation Met, 2 a unitary representation in L (R) of the metaplectic group G, the twofold cover of the group G = SL(2, R), the de?nition of which will be recalled in Section 2: it extends as a representation in the space S (R) of tempered distributions. From what has just been said, if g ˜ is a point of G lying above g? G, andif d = d even g ˜ ?1 or d , the distribution d =Met(g˜ )d only depends on the class of g in the odd homogeneousspace?/G=SL(2, Z)/G, uptomultiplicationbysomephasefactor, by which we mean any complex number of absolute value 1 depending only on g ˜.
