Abstract: A cyclic trigonal curve of genus three is a mathbbZ3 Galois cover of mathbbP1, therefore can be written as a smooth plane curve with equation y3=f(x)=(x−b1)(x−b2)(x−b3)(x−b4). Following Weierstrass for the hyperelliptic case, we define an ``mathrmal function for this curve and mathrmalr(c), c=0,1,2, for each one of three particular covers of the Jacobian of the curve, and r=1,2,3,4 for a finite branchpoint (br,0). This generalization of the Jacobi mathrmsn, mathrmcn, mathrmdn functions satisfies the relation: sum_{r=1}^4 frac{prod_{c=0}^2mathrm{al}_r^{(c)}(u)}{f'(b_r)} = 1 which generalizes mathrmsn2u+mathrmcn2u=1. We also show that this can be viewed as a special case of the Frobenius theta identity.


The authors define an al function for a cyclic trigonal curve of genus three following Weierstrass for the hyperbolic case. See [\textit{V. M. Buchstaber} et al., Rev. Math. Math. Phys. 10, No. 2, 3--120 (1997; Zbl 0911.14019); \textit{F. Klein}, Math. Ann. 27, 431--464 (1885; JFM 18.0418.02)]. They first explain the geometry of a genus three cyclic trigonal curve in the affine plane. Then they present the meromorphic functions needed to express the trigonal al functions and obtain a generalized Frobenius theta formula. They define the al function and study its properties using results from the following papers: [\textit{J. C. Eilbeck} et al., in: SIDE III -- Symmetries and integrability of difference equations.
