From the necessary condition, we derive a classification result. Let $M$ be an even lattice of signature $(2,n)$ splitting two hyperbolic planes. Suppose $\\Gamma$ is a subgroup of the integral orthogonal group of $M$ containing the discriminant kernel. It is proved that there are exactly 26 groups $\\Gamma$ such that the space of modular forms for $\\Gamma$ is a free algebra. Using the sufficient condition, we recover some well-known results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-03T14:20:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F55", "51F15", "32N15" ], "keywords": [ "orthogonal modular forms", "free algebra", "classification", "sufficient condition", "integral orthogonal group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
