Primitive and totally primitive Fricke families with applications

Abstract

We introduce the primitivity of Fricke families, and give some examples. As its application, we first construct generators of the function field of the modular curve of level NN in terms of Fricke functions and Siegel functions, respectively. Furthermore, we use the special values of a certain function in a totally primitive Fricke family of level NN in order to generate ray class fields of imaginary quadratic fields.
