Jacobi Theta function inequality

349 Views Asked by At

I am trying to show that

$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty e^{- \pi n^2 x} < \frac{1}{2} x^{-\frac{1}{2}}, \; \forall x>1$$

Here's what I'm doing:

$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty e^{- \pi n^2 x} < \sum_{n=1}^\infty e^{- \pi n x} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty e^{- \pi n x}-1=\frac{1}{1-e^{-\pi x}}-1 = \frac{1}{e^{\pi x}-1} <\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}, \; (x>1)$$

Is that correct?

Thanks in advance :)

Since $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left( \frac{1}{e^{\pi x}}\right)^{n}=\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{e^{\pi x}}}$$
and

$e^{\pi x}-1=\pi x + (\pi x)^2 + O((\pi x)^3)>2\sqrt{x}$, $\forall x>1,$

the estimate is correct.
