Romik's Conjecture for the Jacobi Theta Function

Number Theory 2025-07-11 v3

Abstract

Dan Romik recently considered the Taylor coefficients of the Jacobi theta function around the complex multiplication point ii. He then conjectured that the Taylor coefficients d(n)d(n) either vanish or are periodic modulo any prime p{p}; this was proved by the combined efforts of Scherer and Guerzhoy-Mertens-Rolen, who considered arbitrary half integral weight modular forms. We refine previous work for p1(mod4)p \equiv 1 \pmod{4} by displaying a concise algebraic relation between d(n+p12)d\left( n+ \frac{p-1}{2} \right) and d(n)d(n) related to the pp-adic factorial, from which we can deduce periodicity with an effective period.
