Automorphic Schwarzian equations and integrals of weight 2 forms

In this paper, we investigate the non-modular solutions to the Schwarz differential equation $\{f,τ\}=sE_4(τ)$ where $E_4(τ)$ is the weight 4 Eisenstein series and $s$ is a complex parameter. In particular, we provide explicit solutions for each $s=2π^2(n/6)^2$ with $n\equiv 1\mod 12$. These solutions are obtained as integrals of meromorphic weight 2 modular forms. As a consequence, we find explicit solutions to the differential equation $\displaystyle y''+\frac{π^2n^2}{36}\,E_4\,y=0$ for each $n\equiv 1\mod 12$ generalizing the work of Hurwitz and Klein on the case $n=1$. Our investigation relies on the theory of equivariant functions on the complex upper half-plane. This paper supplements a previous work where we determine all the parameters $s$ for which the above Schwarzian equation has a modular solution.
