Abstract

For fixed uu and vv such that 0u<v<1/20\leq u<v<1/2, the monotonicity of the quotients of Jacobi theta functions, namely, θj(uiπt)/θj(viπt)\theta_{j}(u|i\pi t)/\theta_{j}(v|i\pi t), j=1,2,3,4j=1, 2, 3, 4, on 0<t<0<t<\infty has been established in the previous works of A.Yu. Solynin, K. Schiefermayr, and Solynin and the first author. In the present paper, we show that the quotients θ2(uiπt)/θ2(viπt)\theta_{2}(u|i\pi t)/\theta_{2}(v|i\pi t) and θ3(uiπt)/θ3(viπt)\theta_{3}(u|i\pi t)/\theta_{3}(v|i\pi t) are convex on 0<t<0<t<\infty.
