Abstract: In this paper we study the maximal extension Gammat of the subgroup Gammat of which is conjugate to the paramodular group. The index of this extension is 2u(t) where u(t) is the number of prime divisors of t. The group Gammat defines the minimal modular threefold CalAt which is a finite quotient of the moduli space CalAt of (1,t)-polarized abelian surfaces. A certain degree 2 quotient of CalAt is a moduli space of lattice polarized K3 surfaces. The space CalAt can be interpreted as the space of Kummer surfaces associated to (1,t)-polarized abelian surfaces. Using the action of Gammat on the space of Jacobi forms we show that many spaces between CalAt and CalAt posess a non-trivial 3-form, i.e. the Kodaira dimension of these spaces is non-negative. Finally we determine the divisorial part of the ramification locus of the finite map CalAtightarrowCalAt which is a union of Humbert surfaces. We interprete the corresponding Humbert surfaces as Hilbert modular surfaces.
