In his lecture notes ([1, pp. 33-35], [2, pp. 145-152]), M. Eichler reduced ‘quadratic’ Hilbert modular forms of dimension —k {k is a positive integer) to holomorphic automorphic forms of dimension — 2k for the reproduced groups of indefinite ternary quadratic forms, by means of so-called Eichler maps.
