First Kronecker Limit Formula
The (first) Kronecker limit formula states that
where
- E(τ,s) is the real analytic Eisenstein series, given by
for Re(s) > 1, and by analytic continuation for other values of the complex number s.
- γ is Euler-Mascheroni constant
- τ = x + iy with y > 0.
- , with q = e2π i τ is the Dedekind eta function.
So the Eisenstein series has a pole at s = 1 of residue π, and the (first) Kronecker limit formula gives the constant term of the Laurent series at this pole.

Famous quotes containing the words limit and/or formula:
“Today one does not hear much about him.... The fame of his likes circulates briskly but soon grows heavy and stale; and as for history it will limit his life story to the dash between two dates.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
