Definition

The nome function is given by :q =\mathrm^ =\mathrm^ =\mathrm^ \, where K and iK' are the
quarter period In mathematics, the quarter periods ''K''(''m'') and i''K'' ′(''m'') are special functions that appear in the theory of elliptic functions. The quarter periods ''K'' and i''K'' ′ are given by :K(m)=\int_0^ \frac and :K'(m ...
s, 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. That is, when 0, the mappings between these various symbols are both 1-to-1 and onto, and so can be inverted: the quarter periods, the half-periods and the half-period ratio can be explicitly written as functions of the nome. For general q\in\mathbb with 0<, q, <1, \tau is not a single-valued function of q. Explicit expressions for the
quarter period In mathematics, the quarter periods ''K''(''m'') and i''K'' ′(''m'') are special functions that appear in the theory of elliptic functions. The quarter periods ''K'' and i''K'' ′ are given by :K(m)=\int_0^ \frac and :K'(m ...
s, in terms of the nome, are given in the linked article. Notationally, the quarter periods K and iK' are usually used only in the context of the Jacobian elliptic functions, whereas the half-periods \omega_1 and \omega_2 are usually used only in the context of Weierstrass elliptic functions. Some authors, notably Apostol, use \omega_1 and \omega_2 to denote whole periods rather than half-periods. The nome is frequently used as a value with which elliptic functions and modular forms can be described; on the other hand, it can also be thought of as function, because the quarter periods are functions of the elliptic modulus k: q(k) = \mathrm^. The complementary nome q_1 is given by :q_1(k) = \mathrm^. \, Sometimes the notation q=\mathrm^ is used for the ''square'' of the nome. The mentioned functions K and K' are called complete

Applications

The nome solves the following equation: :, k, = \frac\rightarrow q(k) = \mathrm^ This analogon is valid for the Pythagorean complementary modulus: :k' = \sqrt = \frac\rightarrow q(k) = \mathrm^ where \vartheta_,\theta_ are the complete Jacobi theta functions and K(k) is the

with modulus k shown in the formula above. For the complete theta functions these definitions introduced by Sir Edmund Taylor Whittaker and George Neville Watson are valid: :\vartheta_(v;w) = \prod_^\infty (1-w^) +2\cos(2v)w^+w^/math> :\vartheta_(v;w) = \prod_^\infty (1-w^) -2\cos(2v)w^+w^/math> :\vartheta_(v;w) = 2 w^\cos(v)\prod_^\infty (1-w^) +2\cos(2v)w^+w^/math> These three definition formulas are written down in the fourth edition of the book ''A Course in Modern Analysis'' written by Whittaker and Watson on the pages 469 and 470. The nome is commonly used as the starting point for the construction of

. The nome then serves as a coordinate on a punctured disk of unit radius; it is punctured because q=0 is not part of the disk (or rather, q=0 corresponds to \tau \to \infty). This endows the punctured disk with the Poincaré metric. The upper half-plane (and the Poincaré disk, and the punctured disk) can thus be tiled with the

. Some functions that are periodic on the upper half-plane are called to as modular functions; the nome, the half-periods, the quarter-periods or the half-period ratio all provide different parameterizations for these periodic functions. The prototypical modular function is Klein's j-invariant. It can be written as a function of either the half-period ratio τ or as a function of the nome q.

between inclusive zero and inclusive one in the nome function q(x). The elliptic nome function is axial symmetric to the ordinate axis. Thus: q(x) = q(-x). The functional curve of the nome passes through the origin of coordinates with the slope zero and curvature plus one eighth. For the real valued interval (-1,1) the nome function q(x) is strictly left-curved.


Derivatives

The Legendre's relation is defined that way: : K\,E' + E\,K' - K\,K' = \tfrac\pi And as described above, the elliptic nome function q(x) has this original definition: : q(x) = \exp\left \pi \,\frac\right Furthermore, these are the derivatives of the two complete elliptic integrals: : \frac K(x) = \frac\bigl (x) - (1 - x^2)K(x)\bigr : \frac E(x) = -\frac\bigl (x) - E(x)\bigr Therefore, the derivative of the nome function has the following expression: :\frac \,q(x) = \frac \,q(x) The second derivative can be expressed this way: :\frac \,q(x) = \frac \,q(x) And that is the third derivative: :\frac \,q(x) = \frac \,q(x) The complete elliptic integral of the second kind is defined as follows: :E(x) = \int_0^ \sqrt \,\mathrm\varphi = 2\int_0^1 \frac \,\mathrmy The following equation follows from these equations by eliminating the complete elliptic integral of the second kind: :3\biggl frac q(x)\biggr2 - 2\biggl frac q(x)\biggrbiggl frac q(x)\biggr= \frac q(x)^2 Thus, the following third-order quartic differential equation is valid: :x^2 (1-x^2)^2 q(x)^2 q'(x)q(x) - 3q(x)^2 q''(x)^2 + q'(x)^4= (1+x^2)^2 q(x)^2 q'(x)^2


MacLaurin series and integer sequences


Kneser sequence

Given is the derivative of the Elliptic Nome mentioned above: :\frac \,q(x) = \frac \,q(x) The outer factor with the K-integral in the denominator shown in this equation is the derivative of the elliptic period ratio. The elliptic period ratio is the quotient of the K-integral of the Pythagorean complementary modulus divided by the K-integral of the modulus itself. And the integer number sequence in MacLaurin series of that elliptic period ratio leads to the integer sequence of the series of the elliptic nome directly. The German mathematician Adolf Kneser researched on the integer sequence of the elliptic period ratio in his essay ''Neue Untersuchung einer Reihe aus der Theorie der elliptischen Funktionen'' and showed that the generating function of this sequence is an elliptic function. Also a further mathematician with the name Robert Fricke analyzed this integer sequence in his essay ''Die elliptischen Funktionen und ihre Anwendungen'' and described the accurate computing methods by using this mentioned sequence. The Kneser integer sequence Kn(n) can be constructed in this way: : Executed examples: : The Kneser sequence appears in the

Schellbach Schwarz sequence

The mathematician discovered the integer number sequence that appears in the MacLaurin series of the fourth root of the quotient Elliptic Nome function divided by the square function. The construction of this sequence is detailed in his work ''Die Lehre von den Elliptischen Integralen und den Thetafunktionen''. The sequence was also constructed by the Silesian German mathematician Hermann Amandus Schwarz in ''Formeln und Lehrsätze zum Gebrauche der elliptischen Funktionen'' (pages 54–56, chapter ''Berechnung der Grösse k''). This Schellbach Schwarz number sequence Sc(n) was also analyzed by the mathematicians Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass and Louis Melville Milne-Thomson in the 20th century. The mathematician Adolf Kneser determined a construction for this sequence based on the following pattern: : \text(n+1) = \frac\sum _^ \text(m)\,\text(n + 1 - m) The Schellbach Schwarz sequence Sc(n) appears in the

under the number and the Kneser sequence Kn(n) appears under the number . The following table contains the Kneser numbers and the Schellbach Schwarz numbers: And this sequence creates the MacLaurin series of the elliptic nome in exactly this way: :q(x) = \sum_^ \frac \biggl(\frac\biggr)^ = x^2\biggl\^4 :q(x) = x^2\bigl(\bigr)^4 In the following, it will be shown as an example how the Schellbach Schwarz numbers are built up successively. For this, the examples with the numbers Sc(4) = 150, Sc(5) = 1707 and Sc(6) = 20910 are used: : \mathrm(4) = \frac\sum _^ \mathrm(m) \,\mathrm(4 - m) = \frac \bigl , + \, + \, \bigr : = \frac \bigl( \times + \times + \times \bigr) = : \mathrm(5) = \frac\sum _^ \mathrm(m) \,\mathrm(5 - m) = \frac \bigl , + \, + \, + \, \bigr : = \frac \bigl( \times + \times + \times + \times \bigr) = : \mathrm(6) = \frac\sum _^ \mathrm(m) \,\mathrm(6 - m) = \frac \bigl , + \, + \, + \, + \, \bigr : = \frac \bigl( \times + \times + \times + \times + \times \bigr) =

of the nome function q(x) has even exponents and positive coefficients at all positions: : q(x) = \sum_^ \frac\,x^ And the sum with the same absolute values of the coefficients but with alternating signs generates this function: : q\bigl (x^2+1)^\bigr= \sum_^ \frac\,x^ The radius of convergence of this Maclaurin series is 1. Here \operatorname(n) (OEIS A005797) is a sequence of exclusively natural numbers \operatorname(n) \isin \mathbb for all natural numbers n \isin \mathbb and this integer number sequence is not elementary. This sequence of numbers \operatorname(n) was researched by the Czech mathematician and fairy chess composer Václav Kotěšovec, born in 1956. Two ways of constructing this integer sequence shall be shown in the next section.


Construction method with Kneser numbers

The Kotěšovec numbers are generated in the same way as the Schellbach Schwarz numbers are constructed: The only difference consists in the fact that this time the factor before the sum in this corresponding analogous formula is not \frac anymore, but \frac instead of that: : \text(n+1) = \frac\sum _^ \text(m)\,\text(n + 1 - m) Following table contains the Schellbach Schwarz numbers and the Kneser numbers and the Apéry numbers: In the following, it will be shown as an example how the Schellbach Schwarz numbers are built up successively. For this, the examples with the numbers Kt(4) = 992, Kt(5) = 12514 and Kt(6) = 164688 are used: : \mathrm(4) = \frac\sum _^ \mathrm(m) \,\mathrm(4 - m) = \frac \bigl , + \, + \, \bigr : = \frac \bigl( \times + \times + \times \bigr) = : \mathrm(5) = \frac\sum _^ \mathrm(m) \,\mathrm(5 - m) = \frac \bigl , + \, + \, + \, \bigr : = \frac \bigl( \times + \times + \times + \times \bigr) = : \mathrm(6) = \frac\sum _^ \mathrm(m) \,\mathrm(6 - m) = \frac \bigl , + \, + \, + \, + \, \bigr : = \frac \bigl( \times + \times + \times + \times + \times \bigr) = So the MacLaurin series of the direct Elliptic Nome can be generated: :q(x) = \sum_^ \frac \,x^ :q(x) =


Construction method with Apéry numbers

By adding a further integer number sequence \operatorname(n) that denotes a specially modified Apéry sequence (OEIS A036917), the sequence of the Kotěšovec numbers \operatorname(n) can be generated. The starting value of the sequence \operatorname(n) is the value \operatorname(1)=1 and the following values of this sequence are generated with those two formulas that are valid for all numbers n \isin \mathbb: : \operatorname(n+1) = \frac \sum_^n m\operatorname(m) 6\operatorname(n+1-m) - \operatorname(n+2-m) : \operatorname(n) = \sum_^ \binom^2 \binom^2 This formula creates the Kotěšovec sequence too, but it only creates the sequence numbers of even indices: : \operatorname(2n) = \frac \sum_^ (-1)^16^\binom \operatorname(m) The Apéry sequence \operatorname(n) was researched especially by the mathematicians Sun Zhi-Hong and Reinhard Zumkeller. And that sequence generates the square of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind: : 4\pi^K(x)^2 = 1 + \sum_^\infty \frac The first numerical values of the central binomial coefficients and the two numerical sequences described are listed in the following table: Václav Kotěšovec wrote down the number sequence \operatorname(n) on the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences up to the seven hundredth sequence number. Here one example of the Kotěšovec sequence is computed: :

Product series

The two most important theta functions can be defined by following product series: :\prod_^ -q(x)^1+q(x)^]^2 = \vartheta_ (x)= \sqrt :\prod_^ -q(x)^1-q(x)^]^2 = \vartheta_ (x)= \sqrt sqrt Furthermore, these two Pochhammer products have those two relations: : q(\varepsilon) (\varepsilon);q(\varepsilon)^ = 256\,\varepsilon^2 (1 - \varepsilon^2)^4 \pi^K(\varepsilon)^ : \varepsilon^2 (\varepsilon);q(\varepsilon)^2^ = 16\,(1 - \varepsilon^2)^2 q(\varepsilon) The Pochhammer products have an important role in the pentagonal number theorem and its derivation.


Relation to other functions


Complete elliptic integrals

The nome function can be used for the definition of the complete elliptic integrals of first and second kind: : K(\varepsilon) = \tfrac\pi\,\vartheta_ (\varepsilon)2 :E(\varepsilon) = 2\pi q(\varepsilon)\,\vartheta_' (\varepsilon)vartheta_ (\varepsilon) + \tfrac\pi(1 - \varepsilon^2)\,\vartheta_ (\varepsilon)2 In this case the dash in the exponent position stands for the derivative of the so-called theta zero value function: : \vartheta_'(x) = \frac\,\vartheta_(x) = 2 + \sum_^ 2(n + 1)^2 x^


Definitions of Jacobi functions

The elliptic functions Zeta Amplitudinis and Delta Amplitudinis can be defined with the elliptic nome function easily: : \operatorname(x;k) = \sum_^ \frac : \operatorname(x;k) = \sqrt prod_^ \frac Using the fourth root of the quotient of the nome divided by the square function as it was mentioned above, following product series definitions can be set up for the Amplitude Sine, the Counter Amplitude Sine and the Amplitude Cosine in this way: : \operatorname(x;k) = 2\sqrt ,\sin tfrac\pi K(k)^xprod_^ \frac : \operatorname(x;k) = 2\sqrt ,\cos tfrac\pi K(k)^xprod_^ \frac : \operatorname(x;k) = 2\sqrt ,\cos tfrac\pi K(k)^xprod_^ \frac These five formulas are valid for all values k from −1 until +1. Then following successive definition of the other Jacobi functions is possible: : \operatorname(x;k) = \frac : \operatorname(x;k) = \operatorname (k) - x;k/math> : \operatorname(x;k) = \operatorname(x;k)\operatorname(x;k) : \operatorname(x;k) = \frac The product definition of the amplitude sine was written down in the essay ''π and the AGM'' by the Borwein brothers on page 60 and this formula is based on the theta function definition of Whittaker und Watson.


Identities of Jacobi Amplitude functions

In combination with the theta functions the nome gives the values of many Jacobi amplitude function values: : \operatorname tfracK(k);k= \frac :\operatorname tfracK(k);k= \frac = \frac :\operatorname tfracK(k);k= \frac = \frac :\operatorname tfracK(k);k= \biggl\\biggl\^ :\operatorname tfracK(k);k= \biggl\\biggl\^ :\operatorname tfracK(k);k= \biggl\\biggl\^ :\operatorname tfracK(k);k= \biggl\\biggl\^ The abbreviation sc describes the quotient of the amplitude sine divided by the amplitude cosine.


Theorems and Identities


Derivation of the nome square theorem

The law for the square of the elliptic noun involves forming the Landen daughter modulus: : The Landen daughter modulus is also the tangential counterpart of the Pythagorean counterpart of the mother modulus.


Examples for the nome square theorem

The Landen daughter modulus is identical to the tangential opposite of the Pythagorean opposite of the mother modulus. Three examples shall be shown in the following: Trigonometrically displayed examples: : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = q\bigl sin(\tfrac\pi)\bigr2 = q\bigl tan(\tfrac\pi)^2\bigr : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = q\bigl\^2 = q\bigl\ : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = q\bigl\^2 = q\bigl\ : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = q\bigl\^2 = q\bigl\ Hyperbolically displayed examples: : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = : = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\\biggr\rangle^2 = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\^2\biggr\rangle : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = : = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\\biggr\rangle^2 = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\^2\biggr\rangle : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = : = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\\biggr\rangle^2 = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\^2\biggr\rangle : \exp(-2\sqrt\,\pi) = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^2 = : = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\\biggr\rangle^2 = q\biggl\langle\operatorname\bigl\^2\biggr\rangle


Derivation of the parametrized nome cube theorem

Not only the law for the square but also the law for the cube of the elliptic nome leads to an elementary modulus transformation. This parameterized formula for the cube of the elliptic noun is valid for all values −1 < u < 1. : This formula was displayed exactly like this and this time it was not printed exactly after the expression \varepsilon with the main alignment on the mother modulus, because this formula contains a long formulation. And in the formula shown now with the parameter u , a greatly simplified formula emerges.

On the basis of the now absolved proof a direct formula for the nome cube theorem in relation to the modulus \varepsilon and in combination with the Jacobi amplitude sine shall be generated: The works ''Analytic Solutions to Algebraic Equations'' by Johansson and ''Evaluation of Fifth Degree Elliptic Singular Moduli'' by Bagis showed in their quotated works that the Jacobi amplitude sine of the third part of the complete first kind integral K solves following quartic equation: :\varepsilon^2 x^4 - 2\varepsilon^2 x^3 + 2x - 1 = 0 :x = \text\bigl tfracK(\varepsilon);\varepsilon\bigr Now the parametrization mentioned above is inserted into this equation: :\varepsilon = u(\sqrt-u^2+1) :u^2(\sqrt-u^2+1)^2 (x^4 - 2x^3) + 2x - 1 = 0 This is the real solution of the pattern \tfrac < x < 1 \,\cap \,x \in \R of that quartic equation: :x = \frac Therefore, following formula is valid: :\text\bigl tfracK(\varepsilon);\varepsilon\bigr\bigl varepsilon = u(\sqrt-u^2+1)\bigr= \frac The parametrized nome cube formula has this mentioned form: :q\bigl (\sqrt-u^2+1)\bigr3 = q\bigl (\sqrt+u^2-1)\bigr The same formula can be designed in this alternative way: :q\bigl (\sqrt-u^2+1)\bigr3 = q\bigl\ So this result appears as the direct nome cube theorem: :q(\varepsilon)^3 = q\bigl\


Examples for the nome cube theorem

Alternatively, this formula can be set up: : The now presented formula is used for simplified computations, because the given elliptical modulus can be used to determine the value t in an easy way. The value t can be evoked by taking the tangent duplication of the modulus and then taking the cube root of that in order to get the parameterization value t directly. Two examples are to be treated exemplarily: In the first example, the value t = 1 is inserted: : = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^3 = q(\sqrt - 1)^3 = q\bigl\^3 = : = q\bigl\ = In the second example, the value t = \Phi^ = \tfrac(3 - \sqrt) is inserted: : = \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)^3 = q\bigl \sqrt - 3)(\sqrt - 1)^2\bigr3 = q\bigl\^3 = : = q\bigl\ = : = The constant \Phi represents the

number \Phi = \tfrac(\sqrt + 1) exactly. Indeed, the formula for the cube of the nome involves a modulus transformation that really contains elementary cube roots because it involves the solution of a regular quartic equation. However the laws for the fifth power and the seventh power of the elliptic nome do not lead to an elementary nome transformation, but to a non elementary transformation. This was proven by the

Exponentiation theorems with Jacobi amplitude functions

Every power of a nome of a positive algebraic number as base and a positive rational number as exponent is equal to a nome value of a positive algebraic number: : q(\varepsilon_1 \in \mathbb^)^ = q(\varepsilon_2 \in \mathbb^) These are the most important examples of the general exponentiation theorem: : q(\varepsilon)^2 = q\ = q varepsilon^2(1+\sqrt)^ : q(\varepsilon)^3 = q\ : q(\varepsilon)^4 = q\ = q ^(1+\sqrt ^">1-\sqrt ^(1+\sqrt ^ : q(\varepsilon)^5 = q\ : q(\varepsilon)^6 = q\ : q(\varepsilon)^7 = q\ : q(\varepsilon)^8 = q\ : q(\varepsilon)^9 = q\ The abbreviation \operatorname stands for the Jacobi elliptic function amplitude sine. For algebraic x values in the real interval 1,1/math> the shown amplitude sine expressions are always algebraic. This are the general exponentiation theorems: : q(\varepsilon)^ = q\biggl\ : q(\varepsilon)^ = q\biggl\ That theorem is valid for all natural numbers  ''n''. Important computation clues: The following Jacobi amplitude sine expressions solve the subsequent equations:

Reflection theorems

If two positive numbers a and b are Pythagorean opposites to each other and thus the equation a^2+b^2=1 is valid, then this relation is valid: : \ln operatorname(a)ln operatorname(b)= \pi^2 If two positive numbers c and d are tangential opposites to each other and thus the equation (c+1)(d+1)=2 is valid, then that relation is valid: : \ln operatorname(c)ln operatorname(d)= 2\pi^2 Therefore, these representations have validity for all real numbers ''x'': Pythagorean opposites: : \ln\biggl\langle q\bigl\\biggr\rangle \ln\biggl\langle q\bigl\\biggr\rangle = \pi^2 :\ln\bigl\ \ln\bigl\ = \pi^2 Tangential opposites: :\ln\biggl\langle q\bigl\\biggr\rangle \ln \biggl\langle q \bigl\ \biggr\rangle = 2\pi^2 :\ln\bigl\ \ln\bigl\ = 2\pi^2


Derivations of the nome values


Direct results of mentioned theorems

The following examples should be used to determine the nouns: Example 1: Given is the formula of the Pythagorean counterparts: : For x = 0, this formula gives this equation: : \ln\bigl\^2 = \pi^2 :q\bigl sin(\tfrac\pi)\bigr= \exp(-\pi) Example 2: Given is the formula of the tangential counterparts: : For x = 0, the formula for the tangential counterparts gives the following equation: : \ln\bigl\^2 = 2\pi^2 :q\bigl tan(\tfrac\pi)\bigr= \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi)


Combinations of two theorems each

Example 1: Equianharmonic case The formula of the Pythagorean counterparts is used again: : For x = \sqrt, this equation results from this formula: : \ln\bigl\\ln\bigl\ = \pi^2 In a previous section this theorem was stated: : From this theorem for cubing, the following equation results for u = 1/\sqrt: :q\bigl sin(\tfrac\pi)\bigr3 = q\bigl sin(\tfrac\pi)\bigr The solution to the system of equations with two unknowns then reads as follows: :q\bigl sin(\tfrac\pi)\bigr= \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi) :q\bigl sin(\tfrac\pi)\bigr= \exp(-\tfrac\sqrt\,\pi) Example 2: A further case with the cube formula The formula of the tangential counterparts is used again: : For x = \sqrt this formula results in the following equation: :\ln\bigl\\ln\bigl\ = 2\pi^2 The theorem for cubing is also used here: : From the previously mentioned theorem for cubing, the following equation results for u = (\sqrt - 1)/\sqrt: :q\bigl 2 - \sqrt)(\sqrt + \sqrt)\bigr3 = q\bigl 2 - \sqrt)( \sqrt - \sqrt)\bigr The solution to the system of equations with two unknowns then reads as follows: :q\bigl 2 - \sqrt)(\sqrt - \sqrt)\bigr= \exp(-\sqrt\,\pi) :q\bigl 2 - \sqrt)(\sqrt + \sqrt)\bigr= \exp(-\tfrac\sqrt\,\pi)
