DedekindEta

DedekindEta[τ]

gives the Dedekind eta modular elliptic function TemplateBox[{tau}, DedekindEta].

Details

  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • DedekindEta is defined only in the upper half of the complex τ plane. It is not defined for real τ.
  • The argument τ is the ratio of Weierstrass half‐periods .
  • DedekindEta satisfies where is the discriminant, given in terms of Weierstrass invariants by .
  • For certain special arguments, DedekindEta automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • DedekindEta can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • DedekindEta automatically threads over lists.
  • DedekindEta can be used with CenteredInterval objects. »

Properties & Relations  (2)

Machine-precision input is insufficient to give a correct answer:

With exact input, the answer is correct:

Because DedekindEta is a numerical function with numeric arguments, it might be considered a numeric quantity but because of its boundary of analyticity, it might not be evaluatable to a number:
