Abstract

In this paper, we give an extension of the classical story of the elliptic modular function to the Hilbert modular case for Q(5). We construct the period mapping for a family F={S(X,Y)} of K3 surfaces with 2 complex parameters X and Y. The inverse correspondence of the period mapping gives a system of generators of Hilbert modular functions for Q(5). Moreover, we show an explicit expression of this inverse correspondence by theta constants.
