Abstract
For , we constructed a canonical connected fundamental domain for in [Nie, Parent], utilizing an interesting function . In this paper, we further study the function , prove some identities, and use it to match the cusps, with widths, produced by our connected fundamental domain with the known cusp classes of . Furthermore, we list the boundary arcs and the gluing patterns of our connected fundamental domain, a key step in understanding the modular curve by this approach.
