Balanced modular parameterizations

Abstract

For prime levels $5 \le p \le 19$, sets of $\Gamma_{0}(p)$-permuted theta quotients are constructed that generate the graded rings of modular forms of positive integer weight for $\Gamma_{1}(p)$. An explicit formulation of the permutation representation and several applications are given, including a new representation for the number of $t$-core partitions. The $\Gamma_{0}(p)$-action induces coefficient symmetries within representations for modular forms and invariance subgroups for coupled systems of differential equations. The symmetry for levels $p = 5,7,11$ is linked to the Kleinian automorphism groups.
