Abstract

Let pp be a prime number. Mazur proved that a geometrically maximal unramified abelian covering of X0(p)X_0(p) over Q\mathbb Q is given by the Shimura covering X2(p)X0(p)X_2(p) \to X_0(p), that is, a unique subcovering of X1(p)X0(p)X_1(p) \to X_0(p) of degree Np:=(p1)/gcd(p1,12)N_p := (p-1)/\gcd(p-1, 12). In this short paper, we show that a geometrically maximal abelian covering X2(p)X0(p)X_2'(p) \to X_0(p) of X0(p)X_0(p) over Q\mathbb Q unramified outside cusps is cyclic of degree 2Np2N_p. The main ingredient for the construction of X2(p)X_2'(p) is the generalized Dedelind eta functions.
