Helton and Vinnikov proved that every hyperbolic ternary form admits a symmetric derminantal representation via Riemann theta functions. In the case the algebraic curve of the hyperbolic ternary form is elliptic, the determinantal representation of the ternary form is formulated by using Weierstrass $\wp$-functions in place of Riemann theta functions. An example of this approach is given.

Using factorization properties and fusion rules, we find the higher-genus partition function and two-point correlators for the SU (N)1 WZNW model. The result has simple form in terms of higher-genus theta functions on the group manifold. The previously known results of SU (2)1 and SU (3)1 are also obtained as special cases. This method, combined with other considerations such as modular invariance, can be extended to the nonsimply laced groups and higher-level WZNW models.

Based on the theories of Ramanujan's elliptic functions and the (p,k)-parametrization of theta functions due to Alaca et al. (2006, 2007, 2006) we derive certain Eisenstein series identities involving the Borweins' cubic theta functions with the help of the computer. Some of these identities were proved by Liu based on the fundamental theory of elliptic functions and some of them may be new. One side of each identity involves Eisenstein series, the other products of the Borweins' cubic theta functions. As applications, we evaluate some convolution sums. These evaluations are different from the formulas given by Alaca et al.


1. Since the fundamental discoveries of Weierstrass, much progress has been made with regard to uniform transcendental functions; but the advances of modern mathematics appear to have included no attempt formally to classify and investigate the properties of natural groups of such functions. Consider, for instance, the case of transcendental integral functions which admit one possible essential singularity at infinity. They form the most simple class of uniform functions of a single variable, and yet of them we know, broadly speaking, the nature of but four types:- (1) The exponential function, with which are associated circular and (rectangular) hyperbolic functions; (2) The gamma functions; (3) The elliptic functions and functions derived therefrom, such as the theta functions and Appell’s generalisation of the Eulerian functions; (4) Certain functions which arise in physical problems (such as x -s J„ ( x )) whose properties have been extensively investigated for physical purposes.

The Theta-Functions, although arising historically from the Elliptic Functions, may be considered as in order of simplicity preceding these, and connecting themselves directly with the exponential function (e x or) exp. x ; viz., they may be defined each of them as a sum of a series of exponentials, singly infinite in the case of the single functions, doubly infinite in the case of the double functions ; and so on. The number of the single functions is = 4; and the quotients of these, or say three of them each divided by the fourth, are the elliptic functions sn, cn, d n ; the number of the double functions is (4 2 = ) 16 ; and the quotients of these, or say fifteen of them each divided by the sixteenth, are the hyper-elliptic functions of two arguments depending on the square root of a sex tic function : generally the number of the p -tuple theta-functions is = 4 p ; and the quotients of these, or say all but one of them each divided by the remaining function, are the Abelian functions of p arguments depending on the irrational function y defined by the equation F ( x, y ) = 0 of a curve of deficiency p ). If instead of connecting the ratios of the functions with a plane curve we consider the functions themselves as coordinates of a point in a (4 p —1)dimensional space, then we have the single functions as the four coordinates of a point on a quadri-quadric curve (one-fold locus) in ordinary space; and the double functions as the sixteen coordinates of a point on a quadri-quadric two-fold locus in 15-dimensional space, the deficiency of this two-fold locus being of course = 2.
