“An Introduction to the Dedekind Eta Function and Its Modular Properties”
Abstract: The Dedekind eta function, a fundamental object in the theory of modular forms, plays a key role in number theory, elliptic functions, and mathematical physics. In this seminar, we will introduce the eta function, explore its transformation properties under the modular group, and prove a functional equation. Our discussion will highlight the significance of modularity and its implications in broader mathematical contexts. No prior knowledge of modular forms will be assumed, making this an accessible introduction to the topic.
