Abstract: Let

T h e t a_{3} (z) := s u m_{n i n m a t h b b Z} e x p (i p i n^{2} z)

be the standard Jacobi theta function, which is holomorphic and zero-free in the upper half-plane

m a t h b b H

, and takes positive values along the positive imaginary axis. We define its logarithm

l o g T h e t a_{3} (z)

which is uniquely determined by the requirements that it should be holomorphic in

m a t h b b H

and real-valued on the positive imaginary axis. We derive an integral representation of

l o g T h e t a_{3} (z)

when

z

belongs to the hyperbolic quadrilateral

m a t h c a l F_{s q u a r e}^{| |}

, consisted of all those

z i n m a t h b b H

which satisfy

- 1 l e q R e, z l e q 1

,

| 2 z - 1 | > 1

and

| 2 z + 1 | > 1

. Since every point of

m a t h b b H

is equivalent to at least one point in

m a t h c a l F_{s q u a r e}^{| |}

under the theta subgroup of the modular group on the upper half-plane, this representation carries over in modified form to all of

m a t h b b H

via the identity recorded by Berndt. The logarithms of the related Jacobi theta functions

T h e t a_{4}

and

T h e t a_{2}

may be conveniently expressed in terms of

l o g T h e t a_{3}

via functional equations, and hence get controlled as well. Our approach is based on a study the logarithm of the Gauss hypergeometric function for a specific choice of the parameters. This connects with the study of the universally starlike mappings introduced by Ruscheweyh, Salinas, and Sugawa.
