Questions tagged [modular-function]

This tag is for questions relating to Modular Function or, Elliptic Modular Function.

A function is said to be Modular or, elliptic modular if it satisfies the following conditions:

$1.~~ f$ is meromorphic in the upper half-plane $H$,

$2.~~ f(\bf A\tau)=f(\tau)$ for every matrix $\bf A$ in the modular group Gamma,

$3.~~$ The Laurent series of $f$ has the form

$$ f(\tau)=\sum_{n=-m}^{\infty}a(n)e^{2\pi i n\tau} $$

A modular function is a function that, like a modular form, is invariant with respect to the modular group, but without the condition that $f (z)$ be holomorphic in the upper half-plane. Instead, modular functions are meromorphic.

Elementary explanation for why $j\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{-163}}2\right)\in\mathbb{Z}$

I'm looking into the math behind Ramanujan's Constant $e^{\pi\sqrt{163}}$. The idea is to prove that $j\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{-163}}2\right)\in\mathbb{Z}$ and then use the $q$-expansion. The first part is the hardest. I'm reading Cox's Primes of the…

unexplained modulo, rs ≡ 1 (mod m) where r = 3, s= 59 and m = 176

I'm trying to work through the math behind public key encryption, I'm a computer programmer, but not a mathematician. I came across this wonderful example, but I'm confused about the use of (mod x) my understanding of modulus is that it is the…

Solutions for a modular expression.

If I have a modular expression of type: \begin{equation}\nonumber w(c)=-\frac{\pi}{2}\frac{\left|-1+c\right|(1+c)+\left|1+c\right|(-1+c)}{(1-c^2)} \end{equation} How can I express the solutions to $w$ in terms of $c$, with conditions on the…

Encrypt a short message

I'm supposed to encrypt a short message, OAHU, using f(p) = (3p + 7) mod 26. I've tried to understand how to use a modulo, but frankly I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. If someone could explain the process or at least point me in the…
