Abstract

In this section we will study what happens to Fay’s identities when the 4 points a,b,c,d come together in various stages. The result will be identities involving derivatives of theta functions. First, we need some notation. For the following formulas, let

  1. a)

    \( \vec z \) ∈ Bg

  2. b)

    a,b,c,d ∈ \( \tilde X \) with distinct projections to X

  3. c)

    ϑ \( \left( {\vec z} \right) \) the theta function of X

  4. d)

    for every a ∈ X, and local coordinates t on X near a, we expand the differentials of the 1st kind:

    $$ \omega _i = \left( {\sum\limits_{j = 0}^\infty {v_{ij} \frac{{t^j }} {{j!}}} } \right)dt $$

    and let

    $$ \vec v_j = \left( {v_{lj} , \cdots ,v_{gj} } \right). $$

    (Note that the mapping

    $$ \begin{gathered} \tilde x \to \mathbb{C}^g \hfill \\ x \mapsto \int\limits_a^x {\vec \omega } \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

    is given near a by

    $$ t \mapsto \sum\limits_{j = 0}^\infty {\vec v_j \frac{{t^{j + 1} }} {{\left( {j + 1} \right)!}}.)} $$

    We let

    $$ D_a = constant vector field \vec v_0 \cdot \frac{\partial } {{\partial z}}\left( {i.e.,\sum {v_{0i} \frac{\partial } {{\partial z_i }}} } \right) $$
    $$ D'_a = constant vector field \vec v_1 \frac{\partial } {{\partial \vec z}} $$
    $$ D''_a = constant vector field \vec v_2 \frac{\partial } {{\partial \vec z}}. $$
  5. e)

    We abbreviate \( \int\limits_a^b {\vec \omega } \) to \( \int\limits_a^b \cdot \)
