Abstract:
In an article by Sasaki and Yoshida (2000), we encountered Schottky groups of genus 2 as monodromy groups of the hypergeometric equation with purely imaginary exponents. In this paper we study automorphic functions for these Schottky groups, and give a conjectural infinite product formula for the elliptic modular function .
