Abstract: (Elsevier)
Closed string couplings that give direct constructions of the fundamental region of the modular group are obtained. They arise from Riemann surfaces associated with functions that map strips into a given number of fundamental regions of the group of anharmonic ratios. A Prym differential underlies a tadpole-like graph giving three copies of the modular region.
