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 with oriented basis put and , with the modular function of The modular discriminant and the j-invariant; this is well defined because another oriented basis changes by an element of and is invariant. For full lattices the following are equivalent: (i) for some (the lattices are homothetic); (ii) the complex tori and are biholomorphic; (iii) .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Full lattices with oriented bases, the complex tori and their class maps (Complex lattice and quotient torus, The quotient is a compact Riemann surface), and the modular function with for (The modular discriminant and the j-invariant, The modular group and its action on the upper half-plane).
A change of oriented basis is an element of acting on by the associated Möbius transformation; hence is well defined (Complex lattice and quotient torus, The modular discriminant and the j-invariant).
For , multiplication by maps onto and induces a biholomorphism ; the oriented basis has ratio unchanged, so is a homothety invariant (Complex lattice and quotient torus, Biholomorphic maps between complex domains).
For a lattice , is a holomorphic covering map and is simply connected; hence for any continuous and basepoint there is a unique based lift (The quotient is a compact Riemann surface, Covering maps, evenly covered neighbourhoods, fibres, sheets, and trivial coverings, Every nonempty convex subset of is simply connected, Lifting criterion for maps from path-connected locally path-connected spaces).
Every biholomorphic self-map of is affine , (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).
For with finite , and the valence sum is . Moreover and is nonzero on . The invariant holomorphic function factors in each elliptic chart through , where or (Local charts and the Riemann surface structure of a modular quotient); consequently each zero of has order a positive multiple of at such a point, and weighted contribution at least . At ordinary points its order is at least . Thus 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).
for , directly from (Complex lattice and quotient torus, The modular group and its action on the upper half-plane); and with a basis (The graded ring of level-one modular forms).
Proof
If then multiplication by is a biholomorphism by [F2], so (i) implies (ii). Writing with , the lattice has the same normalised parameter , so ; hence (i) implies (iii). If is another basis of , it is related to by a matrix in and the new parameter is , so is unchanged by [F1].
Suppose (ii): let be a biholomorphism. Composing with a translation of if necessary we may assume , since translations are biholomorphisms. Put ; as is simply connected and is a holomorphic covering [F3], there is a unique based lift with and . Similarly the inverse admits a based lift with . Both and the identity are based lifts of , so by uniqueness , and symmetrically ; thus is a biholomorphism of (it is holomorphic because locally it is a branch of the holomorphic covering composed with ). By [F4] with , and gives , so . For every , because is -periodic, so ; hence . Applying the same argument to , whose affine form is , gives , so and is homothetic to : (ii) implies (i).
Suppose (iii): where , ; set . The form has and , so and by [F5] all zeros of , in particular and , lie in one -class: there is with . Then by [F6] is homothetic to , hence is homothetic to and (i) holds. The three implications close the equivalence.
