The inversion law of theta series #

Let L be a full lattice in a real inner product space E of even dimension n = 2k, with dual lattice L^∨. Poisson summation over L, applied to the Gaussian x ↦ exp (π i (-1/τ) ‖x‖²), whose Fourier transform is (-i)^k τ^k exp (π i τ ‖y‖²), gives the behaviour of theta series under the inversion S : τ ↦ -1/τ:

No integrality is needed for the first two statements. The phase e(+⟪v, m⟫) is the one produced by Poisson summation with Mathlib's Fourier transform; since θ_δ = θ_{-δ}, the vector-valued law also holds with the opposite phase (ZLattice.IsIntegral.sum_discriminantPairingChar_neg).

The vector-valued inversion law of coset theta series: if L is integral and dim E = 2k, then for γ ∈ L^∨ and τ ∈ ℍ, θ_{γ+L}(-1/τ) = (covol L)⁻¹ (-i)^k τ^k ∑_{δ ∈ L^∨/L} e(b_L(γ, δ)) θ_{δ+L}(τ), a finite sum over the discriminant group.

In weight k, inversion sends a coset theta series to a finite linear combination of coset theta series, with coefficients given by the discriminant pairing characters.
