In a recent paper [7], two of the authors of this paper used the theory of theta constants with rational characteristics to study automorphic forms and functions for the prime level principal congruence subgroups T(k) of the modular group T. A byproduct of this investigation was a new cubic theta constant identity, and explicit mappings of the Riemann surfaces EP/I^fc) onto punctured spheres for the cases k = 3, 5. In [5] this theory is extended from primes to arbitrary positive integers. One of the main tools used is the association of theta characteristics to the cusps of the group. This again leads to new theta constant identities and explicit construction of covering maps for the cases k = 4 and 6. In this second paper, much of the theory is extended to two other families of groups: G(k) and ro(A;). The cubic identity in [7] led to a paper [3] where a general k power identity was derived with k any odd positive integer. The techniques used in [7] also gave rise to identities of Ramanujan type [4]. The main theorem of [4] is a tool for the construction of quartic three term theta constant identities which we will, among other things, interpret in this paper. Many facts are known about the congruence subgroups of the modular group and the Riemann surfaces they define. For example, we learn from the theory of group representations that for every odd prime k > 3 (see [11]) the finite group r/T(k) admits a faithful representations as a subgroup of GL(^^,C); but no lower rank will do. We (almost) realize these representations using concrete Hilbert spaces of functions. We only get a representation p of r(k) into PGL(^i,C); however, the image group, p(r(A;))
