Abstract: We consider multiply periodic functions, sometimes called Abelian functions, defined with respect to the period matrices associated with classes of algebraic curves. We realise them as generalisations of the Weierstras P-function using two different approaches. These functions arise naturally as solutions to some of the important equations of mathematical physics and their differential equations, addition formulae, and applications have all been recent topics of study. The first approach discussed sees the functions defined as logarithmic derivatives of the sigma-function, a modified Riemann theta-function. We can make use of known properties of the sigma function to derive power series expansions and in turn the properties mentioned above. This approach has been extended to a wide range of non hyperelliptic and higher genus curves and an overview of recent results is given. The second approach defines the functions algebraically, after first modifying the curve into its equivariant form. This approach allows the use of representation theory to derive a range of results at lower computational cost. We discuss the development of this theory for hyperelliptic curves and how it may be extended in the future.

Review text

The authors consider multiply periodic functions (abelian functions), defined with respect to the period matrices associated with classes of algebraic curves and work with generalizations of the well-known Weierstrass elliptic \(\wp\)-function. They discuss how the theory of higher genus functions can be derived by defining them via an auxiliary function, the \(\sigma\)-function and describe how a series expansion of this function can be derived and the results which follow. In addition, they proceed to give an alternative definition of the functions, developed in recent years. This algebraic definition and the following approach is termed equivariant and brings out an \(sl_2(\mathbb{C})\) structure in the equations which can be exploited to reduce the computation involved in working with the functions. Finally the authors present some new results, looking at how the two approaches may be connected giving the explicit mappings for the genus \(3\) hyperelliptic theory and discuss the possible future directions of this research.
