Abstract

In this paper we study the modular differential equation y+sE4y=0y''+s\,E_4\, y=0 where E4E_4 is the weight 4 Eisenstein series and s=π2r2s=\pi^2r^2 with r=n/mr=n/m being a rational number in reduced form such that m7m\geq 7. This study is carried out by solving the associated Schwarzian equation {h,τ}=2sE4\{h,\tau\}=2\,s\,E_4 and using the theory of equivariant functions on the upper half-plane and the 2-dimensional vector-valued modular forms. The solutions are expressed in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric series. This completes the study of the above-mentioned modular differential equation of the associated Schwarzian equation given that the cases 1m61\leq m\leq 6 have already been treated in the litterature.
