This monograph deals with products of Dedekind's eta function, with Hecke theta series on quadratic number fields, and with Eisenstein series. The author brings to the public the large number of identities that have been discovered over the past 20 years, the majority of which have not been published elsewhere. The book will be of interest to graduate students and scholars in the field of number theory and, in particular, modular forms. It is not an introductory text in this field.

Produktbeschreibung
This monograph deals with products of Dedekind's eta function, with Hecke theta series on quadratic number fields, and with Eisenstein series. The author brings to the public the large number of identities that have been discovered over the past 20 years, the majority of which have not been published elsewhere. The book will be of interest to graduate students and scholars in the field of number theory and, in particular, modular forms. It is not an introductory text in this field. Nevertheless, some theoretical background material is presented that is important for understanding the examples in Part II of the book. In Part I relevant definitions and essential theorems -- such as a complete proof of the structure theorems for coprime residue class groups in quadratic number fields that are not easily accessible in the literature -- are provided. Another example is a thorough description of an algorithm for listing all eta products of given weight and level, together with proofs of some results on the bijection between these eta products and lattice simplices.
Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"This monograph serves as a leading reference on the theory of eta products and theta series identities. The systematic approach to the theory of modular forms in general and eta products in particular makes it a reader-friendly monograph for those who have basic knowledge about the theory." (Wissam Raji, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 a)

"In the book under review mainly a highly interesting special class of theta functions is investigated, the class of Hecke theta series for quadratic number fields. ... Most of the identities in the later sections of this monograph are supposed to be new. Clearly this is a most valuable addition to the literature on modular forms, and the modular forms people must be most grateful to the author for his fine achievement." (Jürgen Elstrodt, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1222, 2011)
