Weber modular function

In mathematics, the Weber modular functions are a family of three functions f, f1, and f2, studied by Heinrich Martin Weber.

Definition

Let q = e^{2\pi i \tau} where τ is an element of the upper half-plane. Then the Weber functions are

:\begin{align}

\mathfrak{f}(\tau) &= q^{-\frac{1}{48}}\prod_{n>0}(1+q^{n-1/2}) = \frac{\eta^2(\tau)}{\eta\big(\tfrac{\tau}{2}\big)\eta(2\tau)} = e^{-\frac{\pi i}{24}}\frac{\eta\big(\frac{\tau+1}{2}\big)}{\eta(\tau)},\\

\mathfrak{f}_1(\tau) &= q^{-\frac{1}{48}}\prod_{n>0}(1-q^{n-1/2}) = \frac{\eta\big(\tfrac{\tau}{2}\big)}{\eta(\tau)},\\

\mathfrak{f}_2(\tau) &= \sqrt2\, q^{\frac{1}{24}}\prod_{n>0}(1+q^{n})= \frac{\sqrt2\,\eta(2\tau)}{\eta(\tau)}.

\end{align}

These are also the definitions in Duke's paper "Continued Fractions and Modular Functions".
