Normal bases for modular function fields

Abstract

We provide a concrete example of a normal basis for a finite Galois extension which is not abelian. More precisely, let C(X(N)) be the field of meromorphic functions on the modular curve X(N) of level N. We construct a completely free element in the extension C(X(N))/C(X(1)) by means of Siegel functions.
