Changing the scaling of a cusp #
Two normalized data at the same cusp have the same positive primitive generator. Their scalings
are related by σ' = aσ + b, with a > 0, and their widths satisfy w' = aw. More generally, if
an element k ∈ Γ carries the cusp of one datum to the cusp of another, then σ' k σ⁻¹ is such a
positive real affine transformation.
Consequently their exponential coordinates differ by the constant
exp (2πib / (aw)), of modulus one. This is the coordinate transition needed to compare cusp
charts on the upper half-plane.
The coordinate accessor TauCeti.Subgroup.CuspDatum.coordinate uses
Function.Periodic.qParam, so the statements apply before choosing a complex structure on the
cusp quotient. No discreteness hypothesis is needed once normalized cusp data
have been supplied.

If k ∈ Γ carries the cusp of D to the cusp of D', then σ' k σ⁻¹ fixes ∞, so it acts
on the upper half-plane by a positive real affine transformation.
Any two scalings at the same cusp differ by a positive real affine transformation.
