Title:
Computing theta functions in quasi-linear time in genus 2 and above

Authors: Hugo Labrande, Emmanuel Thomé

Abstract:

We outline an algorithm to compute \theta(z,\tau) in genus 2 in quasi-optimal time, borrowing ideas from the algorithm for theta constants and the one for \theta(z,\tau) in genus 1. Our implementation shows a large speedup for precisions as low as a few thousand decimal digits. We also lay out a strategy to generalize this algorithm to genus g.
