In mathematics, specifically the theory of elliptic functions, the nome is a special function that belongs to the non-elementary functions. This function is of great importance in the description of the elliptic functions, especially in the description of the modular identity of the Jacobi theta function, the Hermite elliptic transcendents and the Weber modular functions, that are used for solving equations of higher degrees.
The nome function is given by
where and are the quarter periods, and and are the fundamental pair of periods, and 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 . That is, when , 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 with , is not a single-valued function of . Explicit expressions for the quarter periods, in terms of the nome, are given in the linked article.
Notationally, the quarter periods and are usually used only in the context of the Jacobian elliptic functions, whereas the half-periods and are usually used only in the context of Weierstrass elliptic functions. Some authors, notably Apostol, use and 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 : .
The complementary nome is given by
Sometimes the notation is used for the square of the nome.
The mentioned functions and are called complete elliptic integrals of the first kind. They are defined as follows:
The nome solves the following equation:
This analogon is valid for the Pythagorean complementary modulus:
where are the complete Jacobi theta functions and is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind with modulus shown in the formula above. For the complete theta functions these definitions introduced by Sir Edmund Taylor Whittaker and George Neville Watson are valid:
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 Lambert series, the q-series and more generally the q-analogs. That is, the half-period ratio is commonly used as a coordinate on the complex upper half-plane, typically endowed with the Poincaré metric to obtain the Poincaré half-plane model. The nome then serves as a coordinate on a punctured disk of unit radius; it is punctured because is not part of the disk (or rather, corresponds to ). 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 fundamental domain, which is the region of values of the half-period ratio (or of , or of and etc.) that uniquely determine a tiling of the plane by parallelograms. The tiling is referred to as the modular symmetry given by the modular group. 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 . The series expansion in terms of the nome or the square of the nome (the q-expansion) is famously connected to the Fisher-Griess monster by means of monstrous moonshine.
Euler's function arises as the prototype for q-series in general.
The nome, as the of q-series then arises in the theory of affine Lie algebras, essentially because (to put it poetically, but not factually)[ citation needed ] those algebras describe the symmetries and isometries of Riemann surfaces.
Every real value of the interval is assigned to a real number between inclusive zero and inclusive one in the nome function . The elliptic nome function is axial symmetric to the ordinate axis. Thus: . 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 the nome function is strictly left-curved.
The Legendre's relation is defined that way:
And as described above, the elliptic nome function has this original definition:
Furthermore, these are the derivatives of the two complete elliptic integrals:
Therefore, the derivative of the nome function has the following expression:
The second derivative can be expressed this way:
And that is the third derivative:
The complete elliptic integral of the second kind is defined as follows:
The following equation follows from these equations by eliminating the complete elliptic integral of the second kind:
Thus, the following third-order quartic differential equation is valid:
Given is the derivative of the Elliptic Nome mentioned above:
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 Taylor series of the period ratio (half period ratio):
The derivative of this equation after leads to this equation that shows the generating function of the Kneser number sequence:
This result appears because of the Legendre's relation in the numerator.
The mathematician Karl Heinrich Schellbach 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. This scientist [1] constructed this sequence A002103 in his work Die Lehre von den elliptischen Integralen und den Thetafunktionen in detail. Especially on page 60 of this work a synthesis route of this sequence is written down in his work. Also the Silesian German mathematician Hermann Amandus Schwarz wrote in his work Formeln und Lehrsätze zum Gebrauche der elliptischen Funktionen in the chapter Berechnung der Grösse k on pages 54 to 56 that integer number sequence down. This Schellbach Schwarz number sequence Sc(n) (OEIS: A002103) 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 synthesis method for this sequence based on the following pattern:
The Schellbach Schwarz sequence Sc(n) appears in the online encyclopedia of number sequences under the number A002103 and the Kneser sequence Kn(n) appears under the number A227503.
Following table [2] [3] contains the Kneser numbers and the Schellbach Schwarz numbers:
Index n | Kn(n) (A227503) | Sc(n) (A002103) |
---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | 13 | 2 |
3 | 184 | 15 |
4 | 2701 | 150 |
5 | 40456 | 1707 |
6 | 613720 | 20910 |
7 | 9391936 | 268616 |
8 | 144644749 | 3567400 |
And this sequence creates the MacLaurin series of the elliptic nome [4] [5] [6] in exactly this way:
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:
The MacLaurin series of the nome function has even exponents and positive coefficients at all positions:
And the sum with the same absolute values of the coefficients but with alternating signs generates this function:
The radius of convergence of this Maclaurin series is 1. Here (OEIS A005797) is a sequence of exclusively natural numbers for all natural numbers and this integer number sequence is not elementary. This sequence of numbers 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.
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 anymore, but instead of that:
Following table contains the Schellbach Schwarz numbers and the Kneser numbers and the Apéry numbers:
Index n | Kn(n) (A227503) | Kt(n) (A005797) |
---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | 13 | 8 |
3 | 184 | 84 |
4 | 2701 | 992 |
5 | 40456 | 12514 |
6 | 613720 | 164688 |
7 | 9391936 | 2232200 |
8 | 144644749 | 30920128 |
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:
So the MacLaurin series of the direct Elliptic Nome can be generated:
By adding a further integer number sequence that denotes a specially modified Apéry sequence (OEIS A036917), the sequence of the Kotěšovec numbers can be generated. The starting value of the sequence is the value and the following values of this sequence are generated with those two formulas that are valid for all numbers :
This formula creates the Kotěšovec sequence too, but it only creates the sequence numbers of even indices:
The Apéry sequence 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:
The first numerical values of the central binomial coefficients and the two numerical sequences described are listed in the following table:
Index n | Central binomial coefficient square | Sequence number Ap(n) | Sequence number Kt(n) |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | 4 | 8 | 8 |
3 | 36 | 88 | 84 |

Václav Kotěšovec wrote down the number sequence on the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences up to the seven hundredth sequence number.
Here one example of the Kotěšovec sequence is computed:
The two following lists contain many function values of the nome function:
The first list shows pairs of values with mutually Pythagorean complementary modules:
The second list shows pairs of values with mutually tangentially complementary modules:
Related quartets of values are shown below:
The elliptic nome was explored by Richard Dedekind and this function is the fundament in the theory of eta functions and their related functions. The elliptic nome is the initial point of the construction of the Lambert series. In the theta function by Carl Gustav Jacobi the nome as an abscissa is assigned to algebraic combinations of the Arithmetic geometric mean and also the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. Many infinite series [7] can be described easily in terms of the elliptic nome:
The quadrangle represents the square number of index n, because in this way of notation the two in the exponent of the exponent would appear to small. So this formula is valid:
The letter describes the complete elliptic integral of the second kind, which is the quarter periphery of an ellipse in relation to the bigger half axis of the ellipse with the numerical eccentricity as abscissa value.
The two most important theta functions can be defined by following product series:
Furthermore, these two Pochhammer products have those two relations:
The Pochhammer products have an important role in the pentagonal number theorem and its derivation.
The nome function can be used for the definition of the complete elliptic integrals of first and second kind:
In this case the dash in the exponent position stands for the derivative of the so-called theta zero value function:
The elliptic functions Zeta Amplitudinis and Delta Amplitudinis can be defined with the elliptic nome function [8] easily:
Using the fourth root of the quotient of the nome divided by the square function as it was mentioned above, following product series definitions [9] can be set up for the Amplitude Sine, the Counter Amplitude Sine and the Amplitude Cosine in this way:
These five formulas are valid for all values k from −1 until +1.
Then following successive definition of the other Jacobi functions is possible:
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.
In combination with the theta functions the nome gives the values of many Jacobi amplitude function values:
The abbreviation sc describes the quotient of the amplitude sine divided by the amplitude cosine.
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.
This formula results as a combination of the following equations: The differential quotient of this equation balance along with confirms the correctness of this formula. Because on both sides of the equation scale the differential quotient along w is the same and the functions on both sides of the scale run through the coordinate origin with respect to w. The next equation follows directly from the previous equation: By changing the substitution this expression is generated: The combination of both formulas leads to that quotient equation: Both sides of this equation scale show period ratios. For on both sides of this balance the modulus in the numerator is Pythagorean complementary to the modulus in the denominator. The elliptic nome is defined as an exponential function from the negative circle number times the real period ratio. And the real period ratio is defined as the quotient of the K integral of the Pythagorean complementary modulus divided by the K integral of the modulus itself. This is the consequence: QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM! |
The Landen daughter modulus [10] [11] 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:
Hyperbolically displayed examples:
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 with the main alignment on the mother modulus, because this formula contains a long formulation. And in the formula shown now with the parameter , a greatly simplified formula emerges.
This formula results as a combination of the following equations: The differential quotient of this equation balance along with confirms the correctness of this formula. Because on both sides of the equation scale the differential quotient along w is the same and the functions on both sides of the scale run through the coordinate origin with respect to w. The next equation follows directly from the previous equation: By changing the substitution this expression is generated: The combination of both formulas leads to that quotient equation: Both sides of this equation scale show period ratios. For on both sides of this balance the modulus in the numerator is Pythagorean complementary to the modulus in the denominator. The elliptic nome is defined as an exponential function from the negative circle number times the real period ratio. And the real period ratio is defined as the quotient of the K integral of the Pythagorean complementary modulus divided by the K integral of the modulus itself. This is the consequence: QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM! |
On the basis of the now absolved proof a direct formula for the nome cube theorem in relation to the modulus 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:
Now the parametrization mentioned above is inserted into this equation:
This is the real solution of the pattern of that quartic equation:
Therefore, following formula is valid:
The parametrized nome cube formula has this mentioned form:
The same formula can be designed in this alternative way:
So this result appears as the direct 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 in an easy way. The value 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 directly.
Two examples are to be treated exemplarily:
In the first example, the value is inserted:
In the second example, the value is inserted:
The constant represents the Golden ratio number 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 Abel–Ruffini theorem [12] [13] [14] and by the Galois theory [15] too.
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:
These are the most important examples of the general exponentiation theorem:
The abbreviation stands for the Jacobi elliptic function amplitude sine.
For algebraic values in the real interval the shown amplitude sine expressions are always algebraic.
This are the general exponentiation theorems:
That theorem is valid for all natural numbers n.
Important computation clues:
The following Jacobi amplitude sine expressions solve the subsequent equations:
Thirds of the K: solves the equation [16] | Fifths of the K: |
Sevenths of the K: solves the equation und | |
Elevenths of the K: solves the equation |
For these nome power theorems important examples shall be formulated:
Given is the fifth power theorem:
Lemniscatic example for the fifth power theorem:
A next example for the fifth power theorem:
If two positive numbers and are Pythagorean opposites to each other and thus the equation is valid, then this relation is valid:
If two positive numbers and are tangential opposites to each other and thus the equation is valid, then that relation is valid:
Therefore, these representations have validity for all real numbers x:
Pythagorean opposites:
Tangential opposites:
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:
Example 2:
Given is the formula of the tangential counterparts:
For x = 0, the formula for the tangential counterparts gives the following equation:
Example 1: Equianharmonic case
The formula of the Pythagorean counterparts is used again:
For , this equation results from this formula:
In a previous section this theorem was stated:
From this theorem for cubing, the following equation results for :
The solution to the system of equations with two unknowns then reads as follows:
Example 2: A further case with the cube formula
The formula of the tangential counterparts is used again:
For this formula results in the following equation:
The theorem for cubing is also used here:
From the previously mentioned theorem for cubing, the following equation results for :
The solution to the system of equations with two unknowns then reads as follows:
With the incomplete elliptic integrals of the first kind, the values of the elliptic noun function can be derived directly.
With two accurate examples, these direct derivations are to be carried out in the following:
First example:
The correctness of this formula can be proved by computing the differential quotient after the variable on both sides of the balance of equation. Using the value gives this result: The following two results emerge: |
Second example:
The correctness of this formula can be proved by differentiating both sides of the equation balance. The following two results emerge: |
Third example:
The correctness of this formula can be proved by differentiating both sides of the equation balance. Using the value gives this result: The following two results emerge: |
The first derivative of the principal theta function among the Jacobi theta functions can be derived in the following way using the chain rule and the derivation formula of the elliptic nome:
For the now mentioned derivation part this identity is the fundament:
Therefore, this equation results:
The complete elliptic integrals of the second kind have that identity:
Along with this modular identity, following formula transformation can be made:
Furthermore, this identity is valid:
By using the theta function expressions ϑ00(x) and ϑ01(x) following representation is possible:
This is the final result:
In a similar way following other first derivatives of theta functions and their combinations can also be derived:
Important definition:
In mathematics, the arithmetic–geometric mean of two positive real numbers x and y is the mutual limit of a sequence of arithmetic means and a sequence of geometric means. The arithmetic–geometric mean is used in fast algorithms for exponential, trigonometric functions, and other special functions, as well as some mathematical constants, in particular, computing π.
In physics, the cross section is a measure of the probability that a specific process will take place in a collision of two particles. For example, the Rutherford cross-section is a measure of probability that an alpha particle will be deflected by a given angle during an interaction with an atomic nucleus. Cross section is typically denoted σ (sigma) and is expressed in units of area, more specifically in barns. In a way, it can be thought of as the size of the object that the excitation must hit in order for the process to occur, but more exactly, it is a parameter of a stochastic process.
In integral calculus, an elliptic integral is one of a number of related functions defined as the value of certain integrals, which were first studied by Giulio Fagnano and Leonhard Euler. Their name originates from their originally arising in connection with the problem of finding the arc length of an ellipse.
In mathematical physics and mathematics, the Pauli matrices are a set of three 2 × 2 complex matrices that are Hermitian, involutory and unitary. Usually indicated by the Greek letter sigma, they are occasionally denoted by tau when used in connection with isospin symmetries.
The Riemann zeta function or Euler–Riemann zeta function, denoted by the Greek letter ζ (zeta), is a mathematical function of a complex variable defined as
In mathematical analysis, Fubini's theorem is a result that gives conditions under which it is possible to compute a double integral by using an iterated integral, introduced by Guido Fubini in 1907. It states that if a function is integrable on a rectangle , then one can evaluate the double integral as an iterated integral:
In mathematics, the Gudermannian function relates a hyperbolic angle measure to a circular angle measure called the gudermannian of and denoted . The Gudermannian function reveals a close relationship between the circular functions and hyperbolic functions. It was introduced in the 1760s by Johann Heinrich Lambert, and later named for Christoph Gudermann who also described the relationship between circular and hyperbolic functions in 1830. The gudermannian is sometimes called the hyperbolic amplitude as a limiting case of the Jacobi elliptic amplitude when parameter
In mathematics, the prime-counting function is the function counting the number of prime numbers less than or equal to some real number x. It is denoted by π(x) (unrelated to the number π).
In mathematics, theta functions are special functions of several complex variables. They show up in many topics, including Abelian varieties, moduli spaces, quadratic forms, and solitons. As Grassmann algebras, they appear in quantum field theory.
In mathematics, the Jacobi elliptic functions are a set of basic elliptic functions. They are found in the description of the motion of a pendulum, as well as in the design of electronic elliptic filters. While trigonometric functions are defined with reference to a circle, the Jacobi elliptic functions are a generalization which refer to other conic sections, the ellipse in particular. The relation to trigonometric functions is contained in the notation, for example, by the matching notation for . The Jacobi elliptic functions are used more often in practical problems than the Weierstrass elliptic functions as they do not require notions of complex analysis to be defined and/or understood. They were introduced by Carl Gustav Jakob Jacobi. Carl Friedrich Gauss had already studied special Jacobi elliptic functions in 1797, the lemniscate elliptic functions in particular, but his work was published much later.
In mathematics, the lemniscate constantϖ is a transcendental mathematical constant that is the ratio of the perimeter of Bernoulli's lemniscate to its diameter, analogous to the definition of π for the circle. Equivalently, the perimeter of the lemniscate is 2ϖ. The lemniscate constant is closely related to the lemniscate elliptic functions and approximately equal to 2.62205755. The symbol ϖ is a cursive variant of π; see Pi § Variant pi.
In mathematics, the Rogers–Ramanujan identities are two identities related to basic hypergeometric series and integer partitions. The identities were first discovered and proved by Leonard James Rogers, and were subsequently rediscovered by Srinivasa Ramanujan some time before 1913. Ramanujan had no proof, but rediscovered Rogers's paper in 1917, and they then published a joint new proof. Issai Schur independently rediscovered and proved the identities.
In mathematics, the lemniscate elliptic functions are elliptic functions related to the arc length of the lemniscate of Bernoulli. They were first studied by Giulio Fagnano in 1718 and later by Leonhard Euler and Carl Friedrich Gauss, among others.
In mathematics, the Chebyshev function is either a scalarising function (Tchebycheff function) or one of two related functions. The first Chebyshev functionϑ (x) or θ (x) is given by
A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support so that it swings freely back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back towards the equilibrium position. When released, the restoring force acting on the pendulum's mass causes it to oscillate about the equilibrium position, swinging it back and forth. The mathematics of pendulums are in general quite complicated. Simplifying assumptions can be made, which in the case of a simple pendulum allow the equations of motion to be solved analytically for small-angle oscillations.
The Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction is a continued fraction discovered by Rogers (1894) and independently by Srinivasa Ramanujan, and closely related to the Rogers–Ramanujan identities. It can be evaluated explicitly for a broad class of values of its argument.
Anatoly Alexeyevich Karatsuba was a Russian mathematician working in the field of analytic number theory, p-adic numbers and Dirichlet series.
In geometry, a ball is a region in a space comprising all points within a fixed distance, called the radius, from a given point; that is, it is the region enclosed by a sphere or hypersphere. An n-ball is a ball in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. The volume of a n-ball is the Lebesgue measure of this ball, which generalizes to any dimension the usual volume of a ball in 3-dimensional space. The volume of a n-ball of radius R is where is the volume of the unit n-ball, the n-ball of radius 1.
In mathematics, the Dixon elliptic functions sm and cm are two elliptic functions that map from each regular hexagon in a hexagonal tiling to the whole complex plane. Because these functions satisfy the identity , as real functions they parametrize the cubic Fermat curve , just as the trigonometric functions sine and cosine parametrize the unit circle .
In mathematics, Legendre's relation can be expressed in either of two forms: as a relation between complete elliptic integrals, or as a relation between periods and quasiperiods of elliptic functions. The two forms are equivalent as the periods and quasiperiods can be expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals. It was introduced by A. M. Legendre.
