where τ is the half-period ratio, that is, the coordinate on the upper half-plane. The left-right symmetry of this image corresponds to the symmetry of the J-invariant, as small values for the imaginary part of τ are mapped to z=−1 on the left hand side, while large values for the imaginary part of τ are mapped to z=+1 on the right side. The fundamental domain is a triangle spanning the two vertically oriented dots in the center, with the cusp at z=+1 on the right. The transformation corresponds to walking the fundamental domain from dot to dot on the boundary of the largest red area on the right; the cusp z=+1 remains unchanged.
