Abstract

We compute the divisor of the modular equation on the modular curve Γ0(N)\H\Gamma_0(N) \backslash \mathbb H^* and then find recurrence relations satisfied by the modular traces of the Hauptmodul for any congruence subgroup Γ0(N)\Gamma_0(N) of genus zero. We also introduce the notions and properties of Γ\Gamma-equivalence and Γ\Gamma-reduced forms about binary quadratic forms. Using these, we can explicitly compute the recurrence relations for N=2,3,4,5N = 2, 3, 4, 5.
