Abstract

We study modular determinantal differential equations of orders 2 and 3. We show that the expansion of the analytic solution of a non-degenerate modular equation of type D3 over the rational numbers with respect to the natural parameter coincides, under certain assumptions, with the q-expansion of the newform of its spectral elliptic curve and therefore possesses a multiplicativity property. We compute the complete list of D3 equations with this multiplicativity property and relate it to Zagier's list of non-degenerate modular D2 equations.
