Generalised Weber functions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: A generalised Weber function is given by wN(z)=eta(z/N)/eta(z), where eta(z) is the Dedekind function and N is any integer; the original function corresponds to N=2. We classify the cases where some power wNe evaluated at some quadratic integer generates the ring class field associated to an order of an imaginary quadratic field. We compare the heights of our invariants by giving a general formula for the degree of the modular equation relating wN(z) and j(z). Our ultimate goal is the use of these invariants in constructing reductions of elliptic curves over finite fields suitable for cryptographic use.
