A transformation law of an eta product and the invariance of a class of entire modular functions under \(\Gamma_0(n)\) (Q932403)

In this article, the authors present a new proof of the transformation law of a general eta product under the group \(\Gamma_0(n)\),using residue calculus. As special cases, they give conditions that an eta product is a modular form of \(\Gamma_0(n)\) and in particular re-prove the result of \textit{M. Newman} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 9, 373--387 (1959; Zbl 0178.43001)]. The idea of using residue calculus originates in \textit{C. Siegel} [Mathematika 1, 4 (1954; Zbl 0056.29504)]
