For a complex lattice, put and . The complex lattice form of the Klein j-invariant is
The denominator is nonzero for a complex lattice: after normalization it is a nonzero scalar multiple of , whose absence of zeros was proved in part (b). The equal lattice Eisenstein sums therefore give equal values, so parts (a) and (b) give for some . Scaling the absolutely convergent lattice Eisenstein sums gives
If both sums are nonzero, , so and .
If , then and . The complex lattice is homothetic to , which is preserved by multiplication by . The constraint allows only powers of , each already preserving the complex lattice. If , then and . The complex lattice is homothetic to . Multiplication by preserves this complex lattice because , and multiplication by always preserves it. The constraint allows exactly the sixth roots generated by these two multiplications. Again . Both sums cannot be zero simultaneously because the discriminant is nonzero. Hence in every case
The exceptional cases are essential in a complex lattice is determined by its fourth and sixth Eisenstein sums; merely deducing homothety of complex lattices would not prove equality.
