Abstract

We consider the partial theta function, i.e. the sum of the bivariate series θ(q,z):=j=0qj(j+1)/2zj\theta (q,z):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j for q(0,1)q\in (0,1), zCz\in \mathbb{C}. We show that for any value of the parameter q(0,1)q\in (0,1) all zeros of the function θ(q,.)\theta (q,.) belong to the domain {Re z<0,Im z132}\{ {\rm Re}~z<0, |{\rm Im}~z|\leq 132\}\cup{Re z0,z18}\{ {\rm Re}~z\geq 0, |z|\leq 18\}.
