Eisenstein Series
Eisenstein series, named after German mathematician Gotthold Eisenstein, are particular modular forms with infinite series expansions that may be written down directly. Originally defined for the modular group, Eisenstein series can be generalized in the theory of automorphic forms. Eisenstein series for the modular group Let be a complex number with strictly positive imaginary part. Define the holomorphic Eisenstein series of weight , where is an integer, by the following series: :G_(\tau) = \sum_ \frac. This series absolutely converges to a holomorphic function of in the upper half-plane and its Fourier expansion given below shows that it extends to a holomorphic function at . It is a remarkable fact that the Eisenstein series is a modular form. Indeed, the key property is its -invariance. Explicitly if and then :G_ \left( \frac \right) = (c\tau +d)^ G_(\tau) Relation to modular invariants The modular invariants and of an elliptic curve are given by ...

Elliptic Modular Function
In mathematics, Felix Klein's -invariant or function, regarded as a function of a complex variable , is a modular function of weight zero for defined on the upper half-plane of complex numbers. It is the unique such function which is holomorphic away from a simple pole at the cusp such that :j\left(e^\right) = 0, \quad j(i) = 1728 = 12^3. Rational functions of are modular, and in fact give all modular functions. Classically, the -invariant was studied as a parameterization of elliptic curves over , but it also has surprising connections to the symmetries of the Monster group (this connection is referred to as monstrous moonshine). Definition The -invariant can be defined as a function on the upper half-plane :j(\tau) = 1728 \frac = 1728 \frac = 1728 \frac with the third definition implying j(\tau) can be expressed as a cube, also since 1728 = 12^3. The given functions are the modular discriminant \Delta(\tau) = g_2(\tau)^3 - 27g_3(\tau)^2 = (2\pi)^\,\eta^(\ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gotthold Eisenstein
Ferdinand Gotthold Max Eisenstein (16 April 1823 – 11 October 1852) was a German mathematician. He specialized in number theory and analysis, and proved several results that eluded even Gauss. Like Galois and Abel before him, Eisenstein died before the age of 30. He was born and died in Berlin, Prussia. Early life His parents, Johann Konstantin Eisenstein and Helene Pollack, were of Jewish descent and converted to Protestantism prior to his birth. From an early age, he demonstrated talent in mathematics and music. As a young child he learned to play piano, and he continued to play and compose for piano throughout his life. He suffered various health problems throughout his life, including meningitis as an infant, a disease that took the lives of all five of his brothers and sisters. In 1837, at the age of 14, he enrolled at Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium, and soon thereafter at Friedrich Werder Gymnasium in Berlin. His teachers recognized his talents in mathematics, but by 15 y ...

Weierstrass's Elliptic Functions
In mathematics, the Weierstrass elliptic functions are elliptic functions that take a particularly simple form. They are named for Karl Weierstrass. This class of functions are also referred to as ℘-functions and they are usually denoted by the symbol ℘, a uniquely fancy script ''p''. They play an important role in the theory of elliptic functions. A ℘-function together with its derivative can be used to parameterize elliptic curves and they generate the field of elliptic functions with respect to a given period lattice. Symbol for Weierstrass \wp-function Definition Let \omega_1,\omega_2\in\mathbb be two complex numbers that are linearly independent over \mathbb and let \Lambda:=\mathbb\omega_1+\mathbb\omega_2:=\ be the lattice generated by those numbers. Then the \wp-function is defined as follows: \weierp(z,\omega_1,\omega_2):=\weierp(z,\Lambda) := \frac + \sum_\left(\frac 1 - \frac 1 \right). This series converges locally uniformly absolutely in \m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Q-expansion
In mathematics, a modular form is a (complex) analytic function on the upper half-plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation with respect to the group action of the modular group, and also satisfying a growth condition. The theory of modular forms therefore belongs to complex analysis but the main importance of the theory has traditionally been in its connections with number theory. Modular forms appear in other areas, such as algebraic topology, sphere packing, and string theory. A modular function is a function that is invariant with respect to the modular group, but without the condition that be holomorphic in the upper half-plane (among other requirements). Instead, modular functions are meromorphic (that is, they are holomorphic on the complement of a set of isolated points, which are poles of the function). Modular form theory is a special case of the more general theory of automorphic forms which are functions defined on Lie groups which transform nicely ...

Lambert Series
In mathematics, a Lambert series, named for Johann Heinrich Lambert, is a series taking the form :S(q)=\sum_^\infty a_n \frac . It can be resumed formally by expanding the denominator: :S(q)=\sum_^\infty a_n \sum_^\infty q^ = \sum_^\infty b_m q^m where the coefficients of the new series are given by the Dirichlet convolution of ''a''''n'' with the constant function 1(''n'') = 1: :b_m = (a*1)(m) = \sum_ a_n. \, This series may be inverted by means of the Möbius inversion formula, and is an example of a Möbius transform. Examples Since this last sum is a typical number-theoretic sum, almost any natural multiplicative function will be exactly summable when used in a Lambert series. Thus, for example, one has :\sum_^\infty q^n \sigma_0(n) = \sum_^\infty \frac where \sigma_0(n)=d(n) is the number of positive divisors of the number ''n''. For the higher order sum-of-divisor functions, one has :\sum_^\infty q^n \sigma_\alpha(n) = \sum_^\infty \frac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Divisor Function
In mathematics, and specifically in number theory, a divisor function is an arithmetic function related to the divisors of an integer. When referred to as ''the'' divisor function, it counts the ''number of divisors of an integer'' (including 1 and the number itself). It appears in a number of remarkable identities, including relationships on the Riemann zeta function and the Eisenstein series of modular forms. Divisor functions were studied by Ramanujan, who gave a number of important congruences and identities; these are treated separately in the article Ramanujan's sum. A related function is the divisor summatory function, which, as the name implies, is a sum over the divisor function. Definition The sum of positive divisors function σ''z''(''n''), for a real or complex number ''z'', is defined as the sum of the ''z''th powers of the positive divisors of ''n''. It can be expressed in sigma notation as :\sigma_z(n)=\sum_ d^z\,\! , where is shorthand for "''d'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Riemann's Zeta Function
The Riemann zeta function or Euler–Riemann zeta function, denoted by the Greek letter (zeta), is a mathematical function of a complex variable defined as \zeta(s) = \sum_^\infty \frac = \frac + \frac + \frac + \cdots for \operatorname(s) > 1 and its analytic continuation elsewhere. The Riemann zeta function plays a pivotal role in analytic number theory, and has applications in physics, probability theory, and applied statistics. Leonhard Euler first introduced and studied the function over the reals in the first half of the eighteenth century. Bernhard Riemann's 1859 article "On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude" extended the Euler definition to a complex variable, proved its meromorphic continuation and functional equation, and established a relation between its zeros and the distribution of prime numbers. This paper also contained the Riemann hypothesis, a conjecture about the distribution of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta function that is consi ...

Bernoulli Number
In mathematics, the Bernoulli numbers are a sequence of rational numbers which occur frequently in analysis. The Bernoulli numbers appear in (and can be defined by) the Taylor series expansions of the tangent and hyperbolic tangent functions, in Faulhaber's formula for the sum of ''m''-th powers of the first ''n'' positive integers, in the Euler–Maclaurin formula, and in expressions for certain values of the Riemann zeta function. The values of the first 20 Bernoulli numbers are given in the adjacent table. Two conventions are used in the literature, denoted here by B^_n and B^_n; they differ only for , where B^_1=-1/2 and B^_1=+1/2. For every odd , . For every even , is negative if is divisible by 4 and positive otherwise. The Bernoulli numbers are special values of the Bernoulli polynomials B_n(x), with B^_n=B_n(0) and B^+_n=B_n(1). The Bernoulli numbers were discovered around the same time by the Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli, after whom they are named, and i ...

Fourier Series
A Fourier series () is a summation of harmonically related sinusoidal functions, also known as components or harmonics. The result of the summation is a periodic function whose functional form is determined by the choices of cycle length (or ''period''), the number of components, and their amplitudes and phase parameters. With appropriate choices, one cycle (or ''period'') of the summation can be made to approximate an arbitrary function in that interval (or the entire function if it too is periodic). The number of components is theoretically infinite, in which case the other parameters can be chosen to cause the series to converge to almost any ''well behaved'' periodic function (see Pathological and Dirichlet–Jordan test). The components of a particular function are determined by ''analysis'' techniques described in this article. Sometimes the components are known first, and the unknown function is ''synthesized'' by a Fourier series. Such is the case of a discrete-t ...

Nome (mathematics)
In mathematics, specifically the theory of elliptic functions, the nome is a special function that belongs to the non-elementary functions. This function is of great importance in the description of the elliptic functions, especially in the description of the modular identity of the Jacobi theta function, the Hermite elliptic transcendents and the Weber modular functions, that are used for solving equations of higher degrees. Definition The nome function is given by :q =\mathrm^ =\mathrm^ =\mathrm^ \, where ''K'' and iK' are the quarter periods, and \omega_1 and \omega_2 are the fundamental pair of periods, and \tau=\frac=\frac is the half-period ratio. The nome can be taken to be a function of any one of these quantities; conversely, any one of these quantities can be taken as functions of the nome. Each of them uniquely determines the others when 0 |
