Abstract

In this article we make an explicit approach to the higher degree case of the problem: " For a given CMCM field MM, construct its maximal abelian extension C(M)C(M) (i.e. the Hilbert class field) by the adjunction of special values of certain modular functions" in a restricted case. We make our argument based on Shimura's main result on the complex multiplication theory of his article in 1967. His main result is constructed for a quaternion algebra BB over a totally real number field FF. We determine the modular function which gives the canonical model for the case BB is coming from an arithmetic triangle group. That is our main theorem. And we make an explicit case-study for BB corresponding to the triangle group Δ(3,3,5)\Delta (3,3,5). The corresponding canonical model appears as a restriction of the Appell's hypergeometric modular function on a 2-dimensional hyperball to a hyperplane section. That is a modular function for the family of the Koike pentagonal curves w5=z(z1)(zλ1)(zλ2)w^5=z(z-1)(z-\lambda_1)(z-\lambda_2) with two parameters λ1,λ2\lambda_1,\lambda_2. We use the result of K. Koike in 2003 to get an theta representation of the canonical model function. By using this expression, we show several examples of the Hilbert class fields of the CMCM fields those are embedded in the above BB.
