    Let \(\theta_ n\) denote a thetanullwert of degree \(g\) and character \({\mathfrak m}\). The author proves that the subring of the graded ring \({\mathbb C}[\theta_ n\theta_ m]\) invariant with respect to the principal congruence group modulo \(k\) is not integrally closed in the case \(k=2\), \(g\equiv 0 \pmod 4\), \(g\neq 4,12,20\). He uses an interesting lemma concerning the existence of a certain \(2g\times q\) matrix over \({\mathbb F}_ 2\). He also proves that in the case \(k=1\), \(g\equiv 0\pmod 8\), \(g\geq 24\) this ring is not integrally closed. In this case he uses a theorem of H. Maass that the thetanullwert constructed with the determinant as harmonic coefficient and the Leech lattice-matrix as defining quadratic form does not vanish.
