Modular equations for some $\eta$-products
François Morain · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2011
The classical modular equations involve bivariate polynomials that can be seen to be univariate with coefficients in the modular invariant $j$. Kiepert found modular equations relating some $\eta$-quotients and the Weber functions $\gamma_2$ and $\gamma_3$. In the present work, we extend this idea to double $\eta$-quotients and characterize all the parameters leading to this kind of equation. We give some properties of these equations, explain how to compute them and give numerical examples.
