The modular invariant on the level-one quotient #
The normalized modular invariant j = E₄³ / Δ is holomorphic on the upper half-plane and
invariant under the effective level-one group, the image of PSL(2, ℤ) in PSL(2, ℝ). It
therefore descends through the orbit projection to a holomorphic function
TauCeti.ModularGroup.jQuotient on the coarse level-one quotient.
The local multiplicities of the descended function are determined by those of j and the
stabilizer orders: pulling back to the upper half-plane multiplies the local multiplicity at the
orbit of z by the order of the stabilizer of z. At the elliptic point ρ the stabilizer has
order 3 and j vanishes to order 3; at i the stabilizer has order 2 and j - 1728
vanishes to order 2. So the descended function is unramified at both elliptic orbits, and at
every other orbit its local multiplicity equals that of j upstairs.
The descent uses the ordinary orbit quotient, without choosing representatives. Everything here
concerns the uncompactified quotient; the behaviour of j at the cusp is not treated.
