Résumé
Abstract

Nous généralisons la formule de la dérivée de Jacobi en écrivant, pour un $m$ impair, un déterminant de taille $m$ composé de dérivées d’ordre supérieur évaluées en $0$ des fonctions thêta d’une variable avec vecteurs caractéristiques à coordonnées dans $\frac{1}{2 m} ℤ$ comme une constante explicite multipliée par une puissance de la fonction $η$ de Dedekind. Nous déduisons ce résultat de sa version algébro-géométrique, qui est valable si la caractéristique ne divise pas $6 m$ .

We generalize Jacobi’s derivative formula for odd $m$ by writing an $m \times m$ determinant of higher order derivatives at 0 of theta functions in 1 variable with characteristic vectors with entries in $\frac{1}{2 m} ℤ$ as an explicit constant times a power of Dedekind’s $η$ -function. We do so by deriving it from an algebraic geometric version that holds in characteristic not dividing $6 m$ .
