Figure 2(a). The useful compromise is to consider meromorphic doubly periodic (toroidal) functions, which are called elliptic functions. The minimum amount of divergence is to have a double pole (which may be split into two simple poles) per lattice cell; cf. Figure 1. The prototypical elliptic function is the Weierstrass }-function defined in (2), which is plotted on a square torus (s ¼ i) in Figure 2(b), and on a rectangular torus with s ¼ 2i in Figure 2(c). If the real part R} or imaginary part I} is plotted instead of (as here) j}j, then it is obvious that it has double poles; cf. Figures 5 and 6 . We can regard both periodic and doubly periodic functions as lattice functions, i.e., lattice sums that are manifestly periodic in one or two directions. Furthermore, we shall view a two-dimensional (2D) lattice as a stack of one-dimensional (1D) lattices, each of which is a string of lattice points parallel to the real line (cf. Figures 1 and 2 ) that we call a chain. We can dissect 2D sums by doing one chain at a time, and we therefore suspect that elliptic and trigonometric functions are close cousins. That this is indeed the case is most easily seen by constructing both as lattice sums. For example, we shall soon see that the closest cousin to }ðzÞ is p2 csc2 pz. A chain is a very specific horizontal linear string of points that stay together when the complex structure s of the torus is changed. This changes how far apart the chains are, but they do not change shape, and it is therefore nat- ural to treat them as building blocks of the 2D lattice; cf. Figures 1, 2, and 6 . This carries over to chain functions, which are 1D lattice sums of rational functions that define trigonometric func- tions. When these functions are complexified, the chain Figure 2.

  • Generalized Modular Forms Representable As Eta Products
    Modular Forms Representable As Eta Products A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Wissam Raji August, 2006 iii c by Wissam Raji August, 2006 All Rights Reserved iv ABSTRACT Modular Forms Representable As Eta Products Wissam Raji DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Temple University, August, 2006 Professor Marvin Knopp, Chair In this dissertation, we discuss modular forms that are representable as eta products and generalized eta products . Eta products appear in many areas of mathematics in which algebra and analysis overlap. M. Newman [15, 16] published a pair of well-known papers aimed at using eta-product to construct forms on the group Γ0(n) with the trivial multiplier system. Our work here divides into three related areas. The first builds upon the work of Siegel [23] and Rademacher [19] to derive modular transformation laws for functions defined as eta products (and related products). The second continues work of Kohnen and Mason [9] that shows that, under suitable conditions, a generalized modular form is an eta product or generalized eta product and thus a classical modular form. The third part of the dissertation applies generalized eta-products to rederive some arithmetic identities of H. Farkas [5, 6]. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all those who have helped in the completion of my thesis. To God, the beginning and the end, for all His inspiration and help in the most difficult days of my life, and for all the people listed below.

  • Modular Dedekind Symbols Associated to Fuchsian Groups and Higher-Order Eisenstein Series
    Modular Dedekind symbols associated to Fuchsian groups and higher-order Eisenstein series Jay Jorgenson,∗ Cormac O’Sullivan†and Lejla Smajlovi´c May 20, 2018 Abstract Let E(z,s) be the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series for the modular group SL(2, Z). The classical Kro- necker limit formula shows that the second term in the Laurent expansion at s = 1 of E(z,s) is essentially the logarithm of the Dedekind eta function. This eta function is a weight 1/2 modular form and Dedekind expressedits multiplier system in terms of Dedekind sums. Building on work of Goldstein, we extend these results from the modular group to more general Fuchsian groups Γ. The analogue of the eta function has a multiplier system that may be expressed in terms of a map S : Γ → R which we call a modular Dedekind symbol. We obtain detailed properties of these symbols by means of the limit formula. Twisting the usual Eisenstein series with powers of additive homomorphisms from Γ to C produces higher-order Eisenstein series. These series share many of the properties of E(z,s) though they have a more complicated automorphy condition. They satisfy a Kronecker limit formula and produce higher- order Dedekind symbols S∗ :Γ → R. As an application of our general results, we prove that higher-order Dedekind symbols associated to genus one congruence groups Γ0(N) are rational. 1 Introduction 1.1 Kronecker limit functions and Dedekind sums Write elements of the upper half plane H as z = x + iy with y > 0. The non-holomorphic Eisenstein series E (s,z), associated to the full modular group SL(2, Z), may be given as ∞ 1 ys E (z,s) := .

    Bull. Aust. Math.

We show that the (m) minimisers of the lattice theta function are the maximisers of EL;Λ(it) in the space of lattices with fixed density. The proof is based on the study of a lattice generalisation of the logarithm, called the lattice logarithm, also defined by Terry Gannon. We also prove that the natural logarithm is characterised by a variational problem over a class of one-dimensional lattice logarithms. 2010 Mathematics subject classification: primary 33E20; secondary 11F20, 49K30. Keywords and phrases: Dedekind eta function, theta function, lattice, optimisation. 1. Introduction and setting Many mathematical models from physics are written in terms of special functions whose properties give fundamental information about the system (see, for example, [16]). For example, properties of the Jacobi theta function and the Dedekind eta function defined for =(τ) > 0 by X −iπk2τ 1=24 Y n 2iπτ θ3(τ):= e and η(τ):= q (1 − q ); q = e ; (1.1) k2Z n2N have been widely used to identify ground states of periodic systems (see, for example, [4, 10, 13, 19]). Generalisations and deformations of these special functions which arise in more complex physical systems are also of great interest.

  • An Addition Formula for the Jacobian Theta Function 2
    AN ADDITION FORMULA FOR THE JACOBIAN THETA FUNCTION WITH APPLICATIONS BING HE AND HONGCUN ZHAI Abstract. Liu [Adv. Math. 212(1) (2007), 389–406] established an addition formula for the Jacobian theta function by using the theory of elliptic functions. From this addition formula he obtained the Ramanujan cubic theta function identity, Winquist’s identity, a theta function identities with five parameters, and many other interesting theta function identities. In this paper we will give an addition formula for the Jacobian theta function which is equivalent to Liu’s addition formula. Based on this formula we deduce some known theta function identities as well as new identities. From these identities we shall establish certain new series expansions for η2(q) and η6(q), where η(q) is the Dedekind eta function, give new proofs for Jacobi’s two, four and eight squares theorems and confirm several q-trigonometric identities conjectured by W. Gosper. Another conjectured identity on the constant Πq is also settled. The series expansions for η6(q) led to new proofs of Ramanujan’s congruence p(7n + 5) ≡ 0(mod7). 1. Introduction Throughout this paper we take q = exp(πiτ), where Im τ > 0. To carry out our study we need the definitions of the Jacobian theta functions. Definition.

In this paper, we define a Riemann surface of higher genus as a quotient manifold of the Poincar´eupper half-plane by a congruence subgroup, especially Γ0(N). We present a method to construct basis of cusp forms since the zero mode solutions should be cusp forms. To confirm our method, we select a congruence subgroup of semiprime level and show the demonstration to some lower weights. In addition, we discuss Yukawa couplings and matrix regularization as applications. arXiv:2008.11461v1 [hep-th] 26 Aug 2020 ∗E-mail address: yakkuru [email protected] Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Preliminaries 4 2.1 Poincar´eupperhalf-plane . 4 2.2 Automorphicformsandcuspforms . 5 2.3 Dedekind η-functionandetaquotients . 6 3 Dirac operator on Γ H˜ in gauge background 7 \ 3.1 Zweibein and spin connection . 8 3.2 Selectionofgaugebackground . 8 3.3 Diracoperator.................................. 9 4 Construction of zero mode solutions 11 4.1 Construction .................................. 11 4.2 Demonstration ................................. 14 5 Applications 16 5.1 Extradimensionalmodels ........................... 17 5.2 Matrix regularization . 17 6 Conclusion and discussion 18 A Explicit q-expansionsandcoefficients . 19 1 Introduction The standard model (SM) is a successful model to explain the results of high energy experiments.

Applications: I Mitigating roundoff error for lengthy calculations I Surviving cancellation between exponentially large terms I High order numerical differentiation, extrapolation I Computing discrete data (integer coefficients) I Integer relation searches (LLL/PSLQ) I Heuristic equality testing Also: I Can increase precision if error bounds are too pessimistic Most interesting range: 10 − 105 digits. (Millions, billions...?) 4 / 49 Ball/interval arithmetic A real number in Arb is represented by a rigorous enclosure as a high-precision midpoint and a low-precision radius: [3:14159265358979323846264338328 ± 1:07 · 10−30] Complex numbers: [m1 ± r1] + [m2 ± r2]i.
