Reduction Formulae for Products of Theta Functions

Published

Author(s)

Peter L. Walker

Abstract

In four cases it is already known that the product of two distinct Jacobian theta functions having the same variable z and the same nome q is a multiple of a single Jacobian theta function, with the multiple independent of z. The main purpose of the present note is to show that this property also applies in the remaining two cases.
