A function ψ is defined for z∈C by
ψ(z)=n=−∞∑∞exp(πi(n+21)2τ+2πi(n+21)(z+21))
where τ is a complex parameter with Im(τ)>0. Prove that this series converges uniformly on the subsets {∣Im(z)∣⩽R} for R>0 and deduce that ψ is holomorphic on C.
You may assume without proof that
ψ(z+1)=−ψ(z) and ψ(z+τ)=−exp(−πiτ−2πiz)ψ(z)
for all z∈C. Let ℓ(z) be the logarithmic derivative ℓ(z)=ψ(z)ψ′(z). Show that
ℓ(z+1)=ℓ(z) and ℓ(z+τ)=−2πi+ℓ(z)
for all z∈C. Deduce that ψ has only one zero in the parallelogram P with vertices 21(±1±τ). Find all of the zeros of ψ.
Let Λ be the lattice in C generated by 1 and τ. Show that, for λj,aj∈C (j=1,…,n), the formula
f(z)=λ1ψ(z−a1)ψ′(z−a1)+…+λnψ(z−an)ψ′(z−an)
gives a Λ-periodic meromorphic function f if and only if λ1+…+λn=0. Deduce that dzd(ψ(z−a)ψ′(z−a)) is Λ-periodic.
