Abstract
This entry defines the Ramanujan theta function
and derives from it the more commonly known Jacobi theta function on the unit disc
its version in the complex plane
as well as its half-period variants , , and .
Notable results formalised include the fact that is a solution to the
one-dimensional heat equation , and Jacobi's triple product
as well as its corollary, Euler's famous pentagonal number theorem:
