Abstract

The {\em spectrum} of the partial theta function θ:=j=0qj(j+1)/2xj\theta :=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j is the set of values of qCq\in \mathbb{C}, 0<q<10<|q|<1, for which θ(q,.)\theta (q,.) has a multiple zero. We show that the only element of the spectrum belonging to the disk D0.31\mathbb{D}_{0.31} is 0.30924933860.3092493386\ldots.
