Abstract

We prove that Γ0(2n)\Gamma_0(2^n) (n2n\ge2) has a Farey sequence {ei}\{e_i\} such that ei2n1e_i \le 2^{n-1} for all eie_i. The above upper bound is optimal, and there exists a unique jj such that ej=2n1e_j= 2^{n-1} . For each eie_i, there exists a unique aia_i such that {ai/ei}{}\{ a_i/e_i\}\cup \{\infty\} is the set of ideal vertices of a fundamental domain of Γ0(2n)\Gamma_0(2^n) whose side-pairings give a set of independent generators of Γ0(2n)\Gamma_0(2^n).
