There are a number of fundamental results in the study of holomorphic function theory associated to the discrete group $\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, including the following statements: the ring of holomorphic modular forms is generated by the holomorphic Eisenstein series of weights four and six, denoted by $E_{4}$ and $E_{6}$; the smallest-weight cusp form $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}$ has weight twelve and can be written as a polynomial in $E_{4}$ and $E_{6}$; and the Hauptmodul $j$ can be written as a multiple of $E_{4}^{3}$ divided by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}$. The goal of the present article is to seek generalizations of these results to some other genus-zero arithmetic groups $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{0}(N)^{+}$ with square-free level $N$, which are related to ‘Monstrous moonshine conjectures’. Certain aspects of our results are generated from extensive computer analysis; as a result, many of the space-consuming results are made available on a publicly accessible web site. However, we do present in this article specific results for certain low-level groups.
