Twisted modular equation

Let $\gamma_2(\tau)=j(\tau)^{1/3}$. The modular equation shows that the functions $$j\left(\frac{a\tau+b}{c\tau+d}\right),\qquad ad-bc=n$$ are integral over $\mathbf Z[j]$. Under what conditions is ...

Expressing modular functions of level 9 and 32 as rational functions

Let $$\gamma_2(\tau)=j(\tau)^{1/3},\qquad \mathfrak f_1(\tau)=\frac{\eta(\tau/2)}{\eta(\tau)},$$ where $j$ is the modular invariant and $\eta$ is the Dedekind eta function. Cox in his Primes of the ...

Effective bound on the expansion of the $j$-invariant

The $j$-ivariant has the following Fourier expansion $$j(\tau)=\frac 1q +\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_nq^n=\frac{1}{q}+744+196884q+21493760q^2+\cdots.$$ Here is $q=e^{2\pi i \tau}$. Is there some simple ...
