Abstract

We consider the space of Siegel modular forms of genus gg of weight two relative to the main congruence subgroup of level 2 and to Igusa's group Γg(4,8)\Gamma_g(4, 8) and Γg(2,4)\Gamma_g(2,4).One of the main results of this paper is that in the case g8g\ge 8 the space [Γg[4,8],2][\Gamma_g[4,8],2] is generated by the products of 4 theta nullwerte. Thus this note can be considered as a completion of the example at the end of [Fr].
