Abstract

We show that modular forms of fractional weights on principal congruence subgroups of odd levels, which are found by T. Ibukiyama, naturally appear as characters being multiplied ηceff\eta^{c_{\text{eff}}} of the so-called minimal models of type (2,p)(2, p), where ceffc_{\text{eff}} is the effective central charge of a minimal model. Using this fact and modular invariance property of the space of characters, we give a different proof of the result showned by Ibukiyama that is the explicit formula representing SL2(Z)\mathrm{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}) on the space of the ibukiyama modular forms. We also find several pairs of spaces of the Ibukiyama modular forms on Γ(m)\Gamma(m) and Γ(n)\Gamma(n) with mnm|n having the property that the former are included in the latter. Finally, we construct vector-valued modular forms of weight k15Z>0k\in\frac{1}{5}\mathbb{Z}_{>0} starting from the Ibukiyama modular forms of weight k15Z>0k\in\frac{1}{5}\mathbb{Z}_{>0} with some multiplier system by a symmetric tensor product of this representation and show that the components functions coincides with the solution space of some monic modular linear differential equation of weight kk and the order 1+5k1+5k.
