The Fourier transform of the theta-series Gaussian #
On a finite-dimensional real inner product space E of dimension n, the Gaussian
x ↦ exp (π i τ ‖x‖²) with 0 < im τ is the case b = -π i τ of the Gaussian
x ↦ exp (-b ‖x‖²), 0 < re b, whose Fourier transform Mathlib's
fourier_gaussian_innerProductSpace computes, and which is a Schwartz function
(SchwartzMap.gaussian). Summed over a lattice, these Gaussians give its theta series. In the
shape used for the inversion law of theta series,
𝓕 (x ↦ exp (π i τ ‖x‖²)) y = (τ / i) ^ (-n / 2) * exp (π i (-1 / τ) ‖y‖²),
with the complex power cpow, and for even n = 2k the factor is the integer power
((-i) ^ k * τ ^ k)⁻¹.

The Fourier transform of the Gaussian x ↦ exp (π i τ ‖x‖²): for 0 < im τ and
n = finrank ℝ E,
𝓕 (x ↦ exp (π i τ ‖x‖²)) y = (τ / i) ^ (-n / 2) * exp (π i (-1 / τ) ‖y‖²),
with the principal branch of the complex power; τ / i lies in the right half-plane.

finrank ℝ E = 2 * k and 0 < im τ, then
