The former expression, q^(1/24) led to some problems: 1. Take tau=1/2 + i * sqrt(3)/2. Then -1/tau = -1/2 + i * sqrt(3/2) = tau - 1. Note that q corresponding to that tau is -exp(-pi*sqrt(3)), while the q corresponding to -1/tau = tau - 1 is the exact same value. Thus the Dedekind eta function has
381:
I think the definition of eta shown here was wrong and instead of q^(1/24) it should be exp(i pi tau / 12) as I've made it. If the latter expression was implied in the first place, then that should be mentioned since the two expressions are ordinarily different.

the same value at both tau and -1/tau. But then the functional equation says that eta(-1/tau) = sqrt(-i*tau) * eta(tau), i.e. 1 = sqrt(-i*tau). This is incorrect. 1 is not the square root of (-i/2 + sqrt(3)/2).

If You have ever seen the function as a correct 3D complex surface plot, You would not ask. So I want to impress and show a plot by Wolfram Mathematica:

The text mentions that eta is a modular function of weight 1/2. It'd be useful to include its level, and possibly character as well.
663: 97: 58: 389:
2. Another problem is when tau = -1/2 + 0.01i, then eta(tau+1) = eta(tau) and the exp(i pi/12) factor couldn't be correct.
202: 163: 539: 33: 489: 407: 339:
The general modular transformation gives the eta function an argument z on the r.h.s., \tau would be more readable.
592: 296: 194: 455:, then the old definition was still correct. One can validly affix the appropriate 24th root of unity to 39: 324: 83: 452: 394: 390: 288: 363:
Yes, but that's the standard notation. Besides, ad-bc=1 so the four args aren't independent anyway.
