On the graded ring of modular forms of the Siegel paramodular group of level 2 (Q1378260)

In this interesting paper, the authors determine the structure of the graded rings of modular forms belonging to the Siegel paramodular group \(\Gamma^{\text{para}}(2)\) of degree two with polarization \(\text{diag}(1,2)\). They also showed that the Satake compactification of the quotient variety by this group is rational. E. Freitag has obtained the ring structure of modular forms for a certain group which contains \(\Gamma^{\text{para}}(2)\) with index 2 in connection with the determination of the ring structure of Hermitian modular forms of degree 2 over the Gaussian field. Their method is based on the dimension formula for \(\Gamma^{\text{para}}(p)\) given by the first author.
