The Dedekind eta function is
η(τ)=q1/24∏n=1∞​(1−qn),q=e2πiτ.
(1)
It packages the oscillator contribution of a chiral free boson.

The Dedekind eta function is a complex function that plays a significant role in number theory, modular forms, and the theory of partitions. It is defined for a complex number \( \tau \) in the upper half-plane (i.e.
