Shimura curves of discriminant 14 and 15 and associated Heun Functions
Abstract
We study the Shimura curves XD*(1) of discriminant D for D=14, 15 relating specific weight $4$ modular forms on these Shimura curves to the associated Heun functions for the quadrilateral group. We also discuss how the Picard-Fuchs equation of the associated family of abelian surfaces has solutions coming from modular forms on X*D(1). We determine the rational exceptional sets of the associated Heun functions, and the algebraic values attained by the Heun function at these points. For example, He( 81, 1/2; 1/3, 1/6, 1/2, 1/2;−729/112)= ( (22 · 33 · 53)/75 )1/6.
