|Title:||Eta-quotients and theta functions|
|Speaker:||Robert Lemke Oliver, University of Wisconsin-Madison|
|The Jacobi Triple Product Identity gives a closed form for many infinite product generating functions that arise naturally in combinatorics and number theory. Of particular interest is its application to Dedekind's eta-function $\eta(z)$, defined via an infinite product, giving it as a certain kind of infinite sum known as a theta function. Using the theory of modular forms, we classify all eta-quotients that are theta functions.|
