Theta function of a lattice

In mathematics, the theta function of a lattice is a function whose coefficients give the number of vectors of a given norm.

Furthermore, the theta function of an even unimodular lattice of rank n is actually a modular form of weight n/2.

The theta function of an integral lattice is often written as a power series in

so that the coefficient of qn gives the number of lattice vectors of norm 2n.
