Vector Valued Siegel Modular Forms for \Gamma_2[2,4] and Sym^2

Abstract

We develop two structure theorems for vector valued Siegel modular forms for Igusa's subgroup \Gamma_2[2,4], the multiplier system induced by the theta constants and the representation Sym^2. In the proof, we identify some of these modular forms with rational tensors with easily handleable poles on P^3\C. It follows that the observed modules of modular forms are generated by the Rankin-Cohen brackets of the four theta series of the second kind.
