1 Introduction 2 the Schottky Problem
The Schottky problem and second order theta functions Bert van Geemen December Introduction The Schottky problem arose in the work of Riemann To a Riemann surface of genus g one can asso ciate a p erio d matrix which is an element of a space H of dimension g g Since the g Riemann surfaces themselves dep end on only g parameters if g the question arises as to how one can characterize the set of p erio d matrices of Riemann surfaces This is the Schottky problem There have b een many approaches and a few of them have b een succesfull All of them exploit a complex variety a ppav and a subvariety the theta divisor which one can asso ciate to a p oint in H When the p oint is the p erio d matrix of a Riemann surface this variety is g known as the Jacobian of the Riemann surface A careful study of the geometry and the functions on these varieties reveals that Jacobians and their theta divisors have various curious prop erties Now one attempts to show that such a prop erty characterizes Jacobians We refer to M Lectures III and IV for a nice exp osition of four such metho ds to vdG B D for overviews of later results and V for a newer approach In these notes we discuss a particular approach to the Schottky problem which has its origin the work of Schottky and Jung and unpublished work of Riemann It uses the fact that to a genus g curve one can asso ciate certain ab elian varieties of dimension g the Prym varieties In our presentation we emphasize an intrinsic line bundle on a ppav principally p olarized ab elian variety and the action -

We discussed mirror symmetry of tori in [12] emphasizing its “noncom- mutative” generalization. In this paper, we concentrate on the case of a commutative (usual) torus. Our result is a generalization of one by Polishchuk and Zaslow [42], [41], who studied the case of elliptic curve. The main results of this paper establish a dictionary of mirror symmetry between symplectic geometry and complex geometry in the case of tori of arbitrary dimension. We wrote this dictionary in the introduction of [12]. We present the argument in a way so that it suggests a possibility of its generalization. -

It turns out to be a fundamental identity in the theory of theta functions and elliptic function, and unifies many important results about theta functions and elliptic functions. From this identity we can derive the Ramanujan cubic theta function identity, Winquist’s identity, a theta function identities with five parameters, and many other interesting theta function identities; and all of which are as striking as Winquist’s identity. This identity allows us to give a new proof of the addition formula for the Weierstrass sigma function. A new identity about the Ramanujan cubic elliptic function is given. The proofs are self contained and elementary. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Introduction In this note we study quasi-periodic solutions of the BKP hierarchy in- troduced in [1]. Our main result is the Theorem in Section 2, which states that quasi-periodic T-functions for the BKP hierarchy are the theta functions on the Prym varieties of algebraic curves admitting involutions with two fixed points. The rational and soliton solutions of the BKP hierarchy were studied in part IV [2] together with its operator formalism. We also showed that the BKP hierarchy is the compatibility condition for the following system of linear equations for w(x), x = (xl9 x3, .T5,...)^ (1) ^7=B'W' '='.3,5,... where 5, is a linear ordinary differential operator with respect to XL without constant term. dl l~2 dm One of the specific properties of the BKP hierarchy is the fact that squares of T-functions for the BKP hierarchy are T-functions for the KP hierarchy with x2j- = 0. Now we explain why the Prym varieties and the theta functions on them ap- pear in our present study. Received November 20, 1981. Faculty of General Education, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606, Japan.

We prove – as claimed by Cohn and Kumar – that if a function is completely monotonic, then the triangular lattice minimizes energy per particle among Bravais lattices with density fixed for any density. Furthermore we give an example of convex decreasing positive potential for which triangular lattice is not a minimizer for some densities. We use the Montgomery method presented in our previous work to prove minimality of triangular lattice among Bravais lattices at high density for some general potentials. -

The Riemann Zeta Function and Its Functional Equation (And a Review of the Gamma Function and Poisson Summation)
Math 259: Introduction to Analytic Number Theory The Riemann zeta function and its functional equation (and a review of the Gamma function and Poisson summation) Recall Euler's identity: 1 1 1 s 0 cps1 [ζ(s) :=] n− = p− = s : (1) X Y X Y 1 p− n=1 p prime @cp=1 A p prime − We showed that this holds as an identity between absolutely convergent sums and products for real s > 1. Riemann's insight was to consider (1) as an identity between functions of a complex variable s. We follow the curious but nearly universal convention of writing the real and imaginary parts of s as σ and t, so s = σ + it: s σ We already observed that for all real n > 0 we have n− = n− , because j j s σ it log n n− = exp( s log n) = n− e − and eit log n has absolute value 1; and that both sides of (1) converge absolutely in the half-plane σ > 1, and are equal there either by analytic continuation from the real ray t = 0 or by the same proof we used for the real case. Riemann showed that the function ζ(s) extends from that half-plane to a meromorphic function on all of C (the \Riemann zeta function"), analytic except for a simple pole at s = 1. The continuation to σ > 0 is readily obtained from our formula n+1 n+1 1 1 s s 1 s s ζ(s) = n− Z x− dx = Z (n− x− ) dx; − s 1 X − X − − n=1 n n=1 n since for x [n; n + 1] (n 1) and σ > 0 we have 2 ≥ x s s 1 s 1 σ n− x− = s Z y− − dy s n− − j − j ≤ j j n so the formula for ζ(s) (1=(s 1)) is a sum of analytic functions converging absolutely in compact subsets− of− σ + it : σ > 0 and thus gives an analytic function there. -
RIEMANN's FUNCTIONAL EQUATION 1. Deriving The
RIEMANN’S FUNCTIONAL EQUATION KEVIN ZHU Abstract. This paper investigates the functional equation of the Riemann zeta function ζ (s). The functional equation is useful for a few reasons. It allows us to immediately conclude that the function has zeros at the negative even integers. In the process of a proof we shall follow, the analytic continuation of the zeta function also falls out as a consequence. Furthermore, having established the functional equation, we can find formulas for the derivatives of the zeta function. The functional equation has close ties with the Riemann hypothesis, playing a role in empirically searching for zeros on the critical line. 1. Deriving the Functional Equation The aim of the first paper we shall review is to present a short proof of Riemann’s functional equation, [3] Γ(s) πs (1.1) ζ (1 − s) = 2 cos ζ (s) : (2π)s 2 In fact, the method the paper undertakes is to prove the slightly more general functional equation on the Hurwitz zeta function. Riemann’s functional equation follows directly from this relation. The proof is based upon the Lipschitz summation formula, which itself is proved using Poisson summation, a technique from Fourier analysis. The meromorphic continuation of both the periodized zeta function (an- other component of the proofs) and the Hurwitz zeta function to the whole complex plane is a corollary of the results in this paper. Riemann’s original proofs for the relation, on the other hand, use either the theta function and its Mellin transform or contour integration. Comparatively, the proof we shall follow mostly gets away with manipulating infinite series and reasoning about the analytic functions that pop out.
