The two-variable Jacobi theta function #
This file defines the two-variable Jacobi theta function
$$\theta(z, \tau) = \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} \exp (2 i \pi n z + i \pi n ^ 2 \tau),$$
and proves the functional equation relating the values at (z, τ)
and (z / τ, -1 / τ)
,
using Poisson's summation formula. We also show holomorphy (jointly in both variables).
Additionally, we show some analogous results about the derivative (in the z
-variable)
$$\theta'(z, τ) = \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} 2 \pi i n \exp (2 i \pi n z + i \pi n ^ 2 \tau).$$
(Note that the Mellin transform of θ
will give us functional equations for L
-functions
of even Dirichlet characters, and that of θ'
will do the same for odd Dirichlet characters.)
Definitions of the summands #
Summand in the series for the z
-derivative of the Jacobi theta function.

Bounds for the summands #
We show that the sums of the three functions jacobiTheta₂_term
, jacobiTheta₂'_term
and
jacobiTheta₂_term_fderiv
are locally uniformly convergent in the domain 0 < im τ
, and diverge
everywhere else.
The uniform bound we have given is summable, and remains so after multiplying by any fixed
power of |n|
(we shall need this for k = 0, 1, 2
).
The series defining the theta function is summable if and only if 0 < im τ
.
