A generalization of level-raising congruences for algebraic modular forms
In this paper, we extend the results of Ribet and Taylor on level-raising for algebraic modular forms on the multiplicative group of a definite quaternion algebra over a totally real field . We do this for automorphic representations of an arbitrary reductive group over , which is compact at infinity. In the special case where is an inner form of over , we use this to produce congruences between Saito-Kurokawa forms and forms with a generic local component.
