Theorem 3.2. If \( \left( \begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right) \in \Gamma \) then\n\n\[ \Delta \left( \frac{{a\tau } + b}{{c\tau } + d}\right) = {\left( c\tau + d\right) }^{12}\Delta \left( \tau \right) \]
Proof. Since \( \Delta \left( {{\omega }_{1},{\omega }_{2}}\right) \) is homogeneous of degree -12 we have\n\n\[ \Delta \left( {{\omega }_{1},{\omega }_{2}}\right) = {\omega }_{1}{}^{-{12}}\Delta \left( {1,\tau }\right) = {\omega }_{1}{}^{-{12}}\Delta \left( \tau \right) ,\]\n\nwhere \( \tau = {\omega }_{2}/{\omega }_{...

Theorem 3.4 (Dedekind’s functional equation). If \( \left( \begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right) \in \Gamma, c > 0 \), and \( \tau \in H \), we have \[ \eta \left( \frac{{a\tau } + b}{{c\tau } + d}\right) = \varepsilon \left( {a, b, c, d}\right) \{ - i\left( {{c\tau } + d}\right) {\} }^{1/2}\eta \left( \t...
We will prove Theorem 3.4 through a sequence of lemmas.

We shall prove (15) as a consequence of a more general transformation formula obtained by Shô Iseki [17] in 1957. For this purpose it is convenient to restate (15) in an equivalent form which merely involves some changes in notation.

Theorem 5.2. If \( \left( {a/b}\right) < \left( {c/d}\right) \), their mediant \( \left( {a + c}\right) /\left( {b + d}\right) \) lies between them.
\[ \frac{a + c}{b + d} - \frac{a}{b} = \frac{{bc} - {ad}}{b\left( {b + d}\right) } > 0\;\text{ and }\;\frac{c}{d} - \frac{a + c}{b + d} = \frac{{bc} - {ad}}{d\left( {b + d}\right) } > 0. \]
Yes
Theorem 5.3. Given \( 0 \leq a/b < c/d \leq 1 \) . If \( {bc} - {ad} = 1 \) then \( a/b \) and \( c/d \) are consecutive terms in \( {F}_{n} \) for the following values of \( n \) :\n\n\[ \max \left( {b, d}\right) \leq n \leq b + d - 1. \]
Proof. The condition \( {bc} - {ad} = 1 \) implies that \( a/b \) and \( c/d \) are in lowest terms. If \( \max \left( {b, d}\right) \leq n \) then \( b \leq n \) and \( d \leq n \) so \( a/b \) and \( c/d \) are certainly in \( {F}_{n} \) .

Theorem 5.4. Given \( 0 \leq a/b < c/d \leq 1 \) with \( {bc} - {ad} = 1 \), let \( h/k \) be the mediant of \( a/b \) and \( c/d \) . Then \( a/b < h/k < c/d \), and these fractions satisfy the unimodular relations
Proof. Since \( h/k \) lies between \( a/b \) and \( c/d \) we have \( {bh} - {ak} \geq 1 \) and \( {ck} - {dh} \geq 1 \) . Equation (9) shows that \( k = b + d \) if, and only if, \( {bh} - {ak} = \) \( {ck} - {dh} = 1 \) .

Moreover, if \( a/b < c/d \) are consecutive in any \( {F}_{n} \), then they satisfy the unimodular relation \( {bc} - {ad...

We pass from \( {F}_{1} \) to \( {F}_{2} \) by inserting the mediant \( 1/2 \) . Now suppose \( a/b \) and \( c/d \) are consecutive in \( {F}_{n} \) and satisfy the unimodula...

Theorem 5.6. Two Ford circles \( C\left( {a, b}\right) \) and \( C\left( {c, d}\right) \) are either tangent to each other or they do not intersect. They are tangent if, and only if, \( {bc} - {ad} = \) \( \pm 1 \) . In particular, Ford circles of consecutive Farey fractions are tangent to each other.

Theorem 5.8. The transformation\n\n\[ z = - i{k}^{2}\left( {\tau - \frac{h}{k}}\right) \]\n\nmaps the Ford circle \( C\left( {h, k}\right) \) in the \( \tau \) -plane onto a circle \( K \) in the \( z \) -plane of radius \( \frac{1}{2} \) about the point \( z = \frac{1}{2} \) as center (see Figure 5.6). The points of c...
Proof. The translation \( \tau - \left( {h/k}\right) \) moves \( C\left( {h, k}\right) \) to the left a distance \( h/k \) , and thereby places its center at \( i/\left( {2{k}^{2}}\right) \) .

Theorem 6.1. Let \( f \) be an entire modular form of weight \( k \) which is not identically zero, and assume \( f \) has \( N \) zeros in the closure of the fundamental region \( {R}_{\Gamma } \), omitting the vertices.

Proof. If \( k < {12} \) there is at most one term in the sum and the theorem can be verified directly. If \( f \) has weight \( k < {12} \) the weight formula (5) implies \( N = N\left( {i\infty }\right) = 0 \) so the only possible zeros of \( f \) are at the vertices \( \rho \) and \( i \) .
