Multiplication by the modular discriminant
ID: multiplication-by-the-modular-discriminant
The modular discriminant has a simple zero at infinity and no zero in the upper half-plane, by the valence formula for the modular group. Multiplication by it identifies weight- modular forms with weight- cusp forms. Conversely dividing a cusp form by it preserves interior holomorphy and removes one order of vanishing at infinity.
