I am familiar with elliptic functions and what you said about the theta-functions and higher-d generalizations sounds very relevant. In fact, that's exactly what we've done: re-expressed a key quantity in our non-string theory in terms of theta-functions and we'd like to proceed further. Reading math literature, we get the impression that there exist many technical results and methods, but we admittedly don't understand the terminology etc. that seem to contain them. Any useful reference (e.g. applied math review of proceedings) would help. | |
