Klein's Absolute Invariant
Let
and
be periods of a doubly periodic function, with
the half-period ratio a number with
. Then Klein's absolute invariant (also called Klein's modular function) is defined as

is a function of the ratio
only, as are

Klein's absolute invariant is implemented in the Wolfram Language as KleinInvariantJ[tau].
The function
is the same as the j-function, modulo a constant multiplicative factor.
Every rational function of
is a modular function, and every modular function can be expressed as a rational functionof
(Apostol 1997, p. 40).
Klein's invariant can be given explicitly by
(Klein 1878-1879, Cohn 1994), where
is the elliptic lambda function
![lambda(tau)=[(theta_2(0,q))/(theta_3(0,q))]^4,](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/KleinsAbsoluteInvariant/NumberedEquation4.gif) |

Plotting the real or imaginary part of
