Abstract

Elliptic integrals, since Euler’s finding of addition theorem 1751, has been studied extensively from various view points. The present paper gives a view point from primitive integrals of types $\mathrm{A}_2$, $\mathrm{B}_2$ and $\mathrm{G}_2$. We solve Jacobi inversion problem for the period maps by introducing generalized Eisenstein series of types $\mathrm{A}_2$, $\mathrm{B}_2$ and $\mathrm{G}_2$, which generate the ring of invariants functions on the period domain for the congruence subgroups $\Gamma_1 (N) (N = 1, 2 \textrm{ and } 3)$. Type $\mathrm{A}_2$ case is classical. Type $\mathrm{B}_2$ and type $\mathrm{G}_2$ cases seems to be new. The goal of the paper is a partial answer to the discriminant conjecture: to show an existence of the cusp form of weight $1$ with character of topological origin, which is a power root of the discriminant form (Aspects Math., E36, p. 265–320. 2004).
