Abstract: In arXiv:1706:09426 we conjectured and provided evidence for an identity between Siegel $Theta$-constants for special Riemann surfaces of genus $n$ and products of Jacobi $heta$-functions. This arises by comparing two different ways of computing the th Renyi entropy of free fermions at finite temperature. Here we show that for $n=2$ the identity is a consequence of an old result due to Fay for doubly branched Riemann surfaces. For $n>2$ we provide a detailed matching of certain zeros on both sides of the identity. This amounts to an elementary proof of the identity for $n=2$, while for $nge3$ it gives new evidence for it. We explain why the existence of additional zeros renders the general proof difficult.
