Abstract

A cyclic trigonal curve of genus three is a Z3\mathbb{Z}_3 Galois cover of P1\mathbb{P}^1, therefore can be written as a smooth plane curve with equation y3=f(x)=(xb1)(xb2)(xb3)(xb4)y^3 = f(x) =(x - b_1) (x - b_2) (x - b_3) (x - b_4). Following Weierstrass for the hyperelliptic case, we define an ``al\mathrm{al}'' function for this curve and alr(c)\mathrm{al}^{(c)}_r, c=0,1,2c=0,1,2, for each one of three particular covers of the Jacobian of the curve, and r=1,2,3,4r=1,2,3,4 for a finite branchpoint (br,0)(b_r,0). This generalization of the Jacobi sn\mathrm{sn}, cn\mathrm{cn}, dn\mathrm{dn} functions satisfies the relation: r=14c=02alr(c)(u)f(br)=1 \sum_{r=1}^4 \frac{\prod_{c=0}^2\mathrm{al}_r^{(c)}(u)}{f'(b_r)} = 1 which generalizes sn2u+cn2u=1\mathrm{sn}^2u + \mathrm{cn}^2u = 1. We also show that this can be viewed as a special case of the Frobenius theta identity.
