Abstract

For a positive integer NN, let CN(Q)\mathscr{C}_N(\mathbb{Q}) be the rational cuspidal subgroup of J0(N)J_0(N) and C(N)\mathscr{C}(N) be the rational cuspidal divisor class group of X0(N)X_0(N), which are both subgroups of the rational torsion subgroup of J0(N)J_0(N). We prove that two groups CN(Q)\mathscr{C}_N(\mathbb{Q}) and C(N)\mathscr{C}(N) are equal when N=p2MN=p^2M for any prime pp and any squarefree integer MM. To achieve this we show that all modular units on X0(N)X_0(N) can be written as products of certain functions Fm,hF_{m, h}, which are constructed from generalized Dedekind eta functions. Also, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for such products to be modular units on X0(N)X_0(N) under a mild assumption.
