Summability of E2 #
We collect here lemmas about the summability of the Eisenstein series E2 that will be used to
prove how it transforms under the slash action.
Main Results #
The key results concern the difference between two different orders of summation for the
telescoping series ∑_{m,n} (1/(mz + n) - 1/(mz + n + 1)):
tsum_symmetricIco_tsum_sub_eq: Summing first overn(in symmetric intervals), thenm:∑'[symmetricIco] n : ℤ, ∑' m : ℤ, (1/(mz+n) - 1/(mz+n+1)) = -2πi/ztsum_tsum_symmetricIco_sub_eq: Summing first overm, thenn(in symmetric intervals):∑' m : ℤ, ∑'[symmetricIco] n : ℤ, (1/(mz+n) - 1/(mz+n+1)) = 0
The difference -2πi/z between these two orderings is precisely the correction term
D2 that appears in the transformation formula for G2 under the action of S.
Proof Strategy #
For fixed
m ≠ 0, the inner sum overntelescopes to zero (each term cancels with its neighbor), establishing the first identity.For fixed
n, the inner sum overmcan be computed using the cotangent series expansion. Asn → ±∞in symmetric intervals, these sums contribute-2πi/z.
