The modular invariant identifies the level-one surface with the sphere #
The normalized modular invariant defines a holomorphic map jSphere from the constructed
compactified modular quotient to OnePoint ℂ. It sends the unique cusp to infinity and restricts
to jQuotient on the coarse quotient. In the cusp q-coordinate, its reciprocal is q / F(q),
where F is the analytic cusp function of q j and F(0) = 1. Thus its only point above infinity
has local multiplicity one. The fibre-counting degree theorem gives degree one, and
jBiholomorph is the resulting biholomorphism, normalized by the images of the cusp and the two
elliptic orbits.
