Power Series Expansion of Dedekind Eta Function: How to Expand η(τ)/η(3τ)?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on computing the power series expansion of the Dedekind eta function, specifically η(τ)/η(3τ). The eta function is defined as η(τ) = q^24 ∏(1 - q^n) for n from 0 to infinity, where q = e^(2πiτ). The user seeks assistance in expanding this function while working on the modular polynomial related to the prime number 3. Clarification is also requested regarding whether the eta function is equivalent to the alternating zeta function.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of modular forms and functions
  • Familiarity with the Dedekind eta function
  • Knowledge of power series expansions
  • Basic concepts of complex analysis, particularly in relation to q-series

Hi Every body!

I wan to compute the power series expansion of dedekind eta function. Specifically, I want to know the power series expansion of η(τ)/η(3τ)? How could I expand this function? I would be happy if you could help me as I am stuck at this state when I am computing the modular polynomial of prime number 3.

is eta the alternating zeta function??
 
eta function is a function with this expression
infinity
η(τ)=q^24 ∏(1-q^n)
n=0
where q=e^2πiτ
Sorry, the product is from n=0 up-to infinity. You should understand in that way.
