Abstract: We compute the second variation of the lambda-invariant, recently introduced by S. Zhang, on the complex moduli space M_g of curves of genus g>1, using work of N. Kawazumi. As a result we prove that (8g+4)lambda is equal, up to a constant, to the �eta-invariant introduced some time ago by R. Hain and D. Reed. We deduce some consequences; for example we calculate the lambda-invariant for each hyperelliptic curve, expressing it in terms of the Petersson norm of the discriminant modular form.
