Elliptic integral as quantity associated with Riemann surface?

There are many elliptic integrals, so to show my point let me just pick one of them (complete elliptic integral of the first kind [1]): $$K(k) = \int_{0}^{1} \frac {dx} {\sqrt{(1-x^{2})(1-k^{2}x^{2})}}...

Meromorphic functions on a modular curves of genus $0$ that take each value exactly once

Let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and let $\mathfrak H$ be the upper half-plane. Let $X(\Gamma)$ be the compactification of $\Gamma\backslash\mathfrak H$. Then ...

Is the absolute value of the j-invariant bounded from below on an annulus

Let $j:\mathbf{H}\to \mathbf{C}$ be the $j$-invariant. It's a modular function for $\Gamma(1) = \textrm{PSL}_2(\mathbf{Z})$. For $\epsilon>0$ small, let $B(\epsilon)$ be the image of the strip $$\{...
