Let $q=e^{2\pi i \tau}$. We define the Dedekind eta function by the formula $$\eta(\tau) = e^{\frac{\pi i \tau}{12}} \displaystyle\prod_{n=1}^{\infty} (1-q^n).$$
Properties
Theorem: The following formula holds for $\tau$ with $\mathrm{Im} \hspace{2pt} \tau > 0$: $$\eta \left( -\dfrac{1}{\tau} \right) = (-i\tau)^{\frac{1}{2}}\eta(\tau).$$
Proof: █
