Let K be a totally real algebraic number field of degree n > 1, and let OK be the maximal order. We denote by гk, the Hilbert modular group SL2(OK) associated with K. On the extent of the weight of an automorphy factor for гK, some restrictions are imposed, not as in the elliptic modular case. Maass [5] showed that the weight is integral for K = ℚ(√5). It was shown by Christian [1] that for any Hilbert modular group it is a rational number with the bounded denominator depending on the group.

We show certain symmetries for Borcherds lifts on the Hilbert modular group over a real quadratic field. We give two different proofs, the one analytic and the other arithmetic. The latter proof yields an explicit description of the action of Hecke operators on Borcherds lifts.

The Wiman–Edge pencil is a pencil of genus 6 curves for which the generic member has automorphism group the alternating group [Formula: see text]. There is a unique smooth member, the Wiman sextic, with automorphism group the symmetric group [Formula: see text]. Farb and Looijenga proved that the monodromy of the Wiman–Edge pencil is commensurable with the Hilbert modular group [Formula: see text]. In this note, we give a complete description of the monodromy by congruence conditions modulo 4 and 5. The congruence condition modulo 4 is new, and this answers a question of Farb–Looijenga. We also show that the smooth resolution of the Baily–Borel compactification of the locally symmetric manifold associated with the monodromy is a projective surface of general type. Lastly, we give new information about the image of the period map for the pencil.
