In mathematics, a Siegel theta series is a Siegel modular form associated to a positive definite lattice, generalizing the 1-variable theta function of a lattice.
Suppose that L is a positive definite lattice.
The Siegel theta series of degree g is defined by where T is an element of the Siegel upper half plane of degree g. This is a Siegel modular form of degree d and weight dim(L)/2 for some subgroup of the Siegel modular group.
If the lattice L is even and unimodular then this is a Siegel modular form for the full Siegel modular group.
When the degree is 1 this is just the usual theta function of a lattice.
