Let be the set of lattices in . The lattice model of a modular form is
For the normalization used here, the th Hecke operator on lattice functions is
There are finitely many such superlattices, and scaling gives a bijection between those above and those above , so again has weight .
For , put and define
If , then
so . Conversely, if has this invariance and with , define
The modular transformation law makes this independent of the oriented basis. These constructions are inverse, identifying with .
Transporting through this identification gives
This defines the Hecke operator on .
