A cuspidal modular form $f$ is said to be self dual if the coefficients $a_n$ that appear in its $q$-expansion are real numbers; equivalently, the L-function of the modular form is self dual.
The coefficient field of a newform is either a totally real number field or a CM field, depending on whether the newform is self dual or not.
