  Dedekind eta function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The eta function is holomorphic on the upper half-plane but cannot be continued analytically beyond it.
Because of these functional equations the eta function is a modular form of weight 1/2 and level 1 for a certain character of order 24 of the metaplectic double cover of the modular group, and can be used to define other modular forms.
Because the eta function is easy to compute numerically from either power series, it is often helpful in computation to express other functions in terms of it when possible, and products and quotients of eta functions, called eta quotients, can be used to express a great variety of modular forms.

Modular forms are a particular kind of function on the complex upper half-plane studied in analytic number theory and the theory of elliptic curves.

Such a function is provided by not working with the modulus, but subtracting the divergence directly; this is explored in the next section.

 Elliptic function Summary
Although elliptic functions were simple in form, defined as r(x, p(x))dx where r(x,y) is a rational function in two variables and p(x) is a 3rd or 4th degree polynomial without repeated roots, the development of elliptical functions had profound consequences on the analysis of the mechanics of motion.
In addition, Le Verrier's use of elliptical functions to describe a discrepancy in the orbital motion of Mercury (e.g., the advance of the perihelion of Mercury) became an important stimulus to the subsequent formation and proof of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Historically, elliptic functions were discovered as inverse functions of elliptic integrals; these in turn were studied in connection with the problem of the arc length of an ellipse, whence the name derives.

 Dedekind eta function - Term Explanation on IndexSuche.Com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
is a function defined on the upper_half_plane of complex numbers whose imaginary part is positive.
For any such complex number z, we may set ''q'' = ''e''2π''zi'', and define the eta function by :\et(az) = q^{1/24} \prod_{n=1}^{\infty} (1-q^n) The eta function is holomorphic on the upper half plane but cannot be continued analytically beyond it.
The eta function satisfies the functional equations :\et(az+1) = \exp(2 \pi i/24)\eta(z) :\eta(-1/z) = \sqrt {-iz} \eta(z) Because of these functional equations the eta function is a modular_form of weight 1/2, and can be used to define other modular_forms.

 The Mandelbrot Set as a Modular Form
Modular forms are a particular kind of function on the complex upper half-plane studied in analytic number theory and the theory of elliptic curves.
This mapping is curious because it is not infrequent in the literature, and because a periodic function on the upper half-plane takes the appearance of a self-similar function on the disk.
Such a function is provided by not working with the modulus, but subtracting the divergence directly; this is explored in the next section.

A fundamental formula in the study of elliptic functions is the product formula for Dedekind's eta function or, equivalently, for the holomorphic cusp form on the upper half plane $\bold h$ which is of weight $12$ with respect to the action by $PSL(2, \bold Z)$.
A related formula expresses the determinant of the Laplacian which acts on the space of smooth functions on an elliptic curve with a period of the elliptic curve and the Dedekind eta function.
In \cite{JT 94a}, we constructed a holomorphic function on the moduli space of marked, polarized, algebraic $K3$ surfaces of fixed degree using determinants of Laplacians.

Besides the Riemann zeta function, there are a lot of other special functions that show up in the study of elliptic curves.
This was first worked out by Planck, who assumed the harmonic oscillator had discrete, evenly spaced energy levels and computed its partition function as part of his struggle to understand the thermodynamics of the electromagnetic field.
To get the partition function of a quantum system built from a bunch of noninteracting parts, you multiply the partition functions of the parts (since the trace of a tensor product of operators is the product of their traces).

Among the major topics covered are Rademacher's convergent series for the partition modular function, Lehner's congruences for the Fourier coefficients of the modular function j, and Hecke's theory of entire forms with multiplicative Fourier coefficients.
It is an excellent intro to modular forms, modular functions, the j-invariant, the Weierstrass elliptic functions and the Hecke operators, in the context of the modular group SL(2,Z).
