We investigate theta functions attached to quadratic forms over a number field K. We establish a functional equation by regarding the theta functions as specializations of symplectic theta functions. By applying a differential operator to the functional equation, we show how theta functions with har

β¦ Synopsis
Let K be the function field over a finite field of odd order, and let H be a definite quaternion algebra over K. If L is an order of level M in H, we define theta series for each ideal I of L using the reduced norm on H. Using harmonic analysis on the completed algebra H . and the arithmetic of quaternion algebras, we establish a transformation law for these theta series. We also define analogs of the classical Hecke operators and show that in general, the Hecke operators map the theta series to a linear combination of theta series attached to different ideals, a generalization of the classical Eichler Commutation Relation.

A function or a power series f is called differentially algebraic if it satisfies a Ε½ X Ε½ n. . differential equation of the form P x, y, y , . . . , y s 0, where P is a nontrivial polynomial. This notion is usually defined only over fields of characteristic zero and is not so significant over fields
## DEDICATED TO PROFESSOR CHAO KO ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY Motivated by arithmetic applications, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function which generalizes the classical zeta function of an algebraic variety de"ned over a "nite "eld. We then explain two approaches to the gene
