How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The j-invariant classifies complex tori

Statement

For a full lattice Λ⊂C with oriented basis (ω1,ω2) put τ=ω2/ω1∈H and j(Λ):=j(τ), with j the modular function of The modular discriminant and the j-invariant; this is well defined because another oriented basis changes τ by an element of SL2(Z) and j is invariant. For full lattices Λ,Λ′ the following are equivalent: (i) Λ′=cΛ for some c∈C× (the lattices are homothetic); (ii) the complex tori C/Λ and C/Λ′ are biholomorphic; (iii) j(Λ)=j(Λ′).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Full lattices Λ,Λ′ with oriented bases, the complex tori TΛ,TΛ′ and their class maps π,π′ (Complex lattice and quotient torus, The quotient C/Λ is a compact Riemann surface), and the modular function j with j(γτ)=j(τ) for γ∈SL2(Z) (The modular discriminant and the j-invariant, The modular group and its action on the upper half-plane).

[F1]

A change of oriented basis is an element of SL2(Z) acting on τ=ω2/ω1 by the associated Möbius transformation; hence j(Λ) is well defined (Complex lattice and quotient torus, The modular discriminant and the j-invariant).

[F2]

For c∈C×, multiplication by c maps Λ onto cΛ and induces a biholomorphism TΛ→TcΛ; the oriented basis (cω1,cω2) has ratio τ=ω2/ω1 unchanged, so j is a homothety invariant (Complex lattice and quotient torus, Biholomorphic maps between complex domains).

[F3]

For a lattice Λ, π:C→TΛ is a holomorphic covering map and C is simply connected; hence for any continuous G:C→TΛ and basepoint there is a unique based lift f:C→C (The quotient C/Λ is a compact Riemann surface, Covering maps, evenly covered neighbourhoods, fibres, sheets, and trivial coverings, Every nonempty convex subset of Rn is simply connected, Lifting criterion for maps from path-connected locally path-connected spaces).

[F4]

Every biholomorphic self-map of C is affine f(z)=az+b, a≠0 (Every biholomorphic self-map of the complex plane is affine); an injective holomorphic map has nowhere-vanishing derivative (An injective holomorphic map has no critical point and is biholomorphic onto its image, Local normal form of a nonconstant holomorphic map).

[F5]

For f=E43−μΔ with finite μ, f(∞)=1 and the valence sum is 1. Moreover f=Δ(j−μ) and Δ is nonzero on H. The invariant holomorphic function j−μ factors in each elliptic chart through zν, where ν=2 or 3 (Local charts and the Riemann surface structure of a modular quotient); consequently each zero of f has order a positive multiple of ν at such a point, and weighted contribution at least 1. At ordinary points its order is at least 1. Thus f has exactly one zero class (The level-one valence formula, The discriminant is a nonvanishing cusp form of weight 12, The modular discriminant and the j-invariant).

[F6]

Λγτ=(cτ+d)−1Λτ for γ=(abcd)∈SL2(Z), directly from Z+Zγτ=Z+Zaτ+bcτ+d=(cτ+d)−1(Z(cτ+d)+Z(aτ+b)) (Complex lattice and quotient torus, The modular group and its action on the upper half-plane); and dim⁡M12=2 with E43,Δ a basis (The graded ring of level-one modular forms).

Proof

1.1F1F2givenalgebra

If Λ′=cΛ then multiplication by c is a biholomorphism TΛ→TΛ′ by [F2], so (i) implies (ii). Writing Λ=Zω1+Zω2=ω1Λτ with τ=ω2/ω1, the lattice Λ′ has the same normalised parameter τ, so j(Λ′)=j(τ)=j(Λ); hence (i) implies (iii). If Λ′′ is another basis of Λ, it is related to (ω1,ω2) by a matrix in SL2(Z) and the new parameter is γτ, so j is unchanged by [F1].

Suppose (ii): let F:TΛ→TΛ′ be a biholomorphism. Composing with a translation of TΛ′ if necessary we may assume F([0])=[0], since translations are biholomorphisms. Put G:=F∘π:C→TΛ′; as C is simply connected and π′ is a holomorphic covering [F3], there is a unique based lift f:C→C with π′∘f=G and f(0)=0. Similarly the inverse F−1 admits a based lift f~ with f~(0)=0. Both f~∘f and the identity are based lifts of F−1∘F∘π=π=π∘id⁡, so by uniqueness f~∘f=id⁡, and symmetrically f∘f~=id⁡; thus f is a biholomorphism of C (it is holomorphic because locally it is a branch of the holomorphic covering π′ composed with G). By [F4] f(z)=az+b with a≠0, and f(0)=0 gives b=0, so f(z)=az. For every λ∈Λ, π′(f(z+λ))=G(z+λ)=G(z) because π is Λ-periodic, so f(z+λ)−f(z)=aλ∈ker⁡π′=Λ′; hence aΛ⊆Λ′. Applying the same argument to f~, whose affine form is a−1z, gives a−1Λ′⊆Λ, so aΛ=Λ′ and Λ′ is homothetic to Λ: (ii) implies (i).

Suppose (iii): j(τ)=j(τ′) where Λ=ω1Λτ, Λ′=ω1′Λτ′; set μ=j(τ)=j(τ′). The form f:=E43−μΔ∈M12 has f(τ)=0=f(τ′) and f(∞)=1, so f≠0 and by [F5] all zeros of f, in particular τ and τ′, lie in one PSL2(Z)-class: there is γ∈SL2(Z) with τ′=γτ. Then Λτ′=Λγτ=(cτ+d)−1Λτ by [F6] is homothetic to Λτ, hence Λ′ is homothetic to Λ and (i) holds. The three implications close the equivalence.
