Abstract

In this paper, we study the K-finite matrix coefficients of integrable representations of the metaplectic cover of \( {\mathrm {SL}}_{2}({\mathbb {R}}) \) and give a result on the non-vanishing of their Poincaré series. We do this by adapting the techniques developed for \( {\mathrm {SL}}_{2}({\mathbb {R}}) \) by Muić to the case of the metaplectic group.
