This research explores the properties of the E8 lattice theta function and its relationship with the Selberg trace formula.
Demonstrated the E8 theta function as a modular form of weight 4 for SL(2,Z).
Used Fourier coefficients to analyze integer representations as sums of squares.
Applied the Selberg trace formula to connect spectral data with geodesic lengths on hyperbolic surfaces.
E8 theta function verified with Fourier coefficients counting representations of integers as sums of 240 squares.
Confirmed modular transformation behavior for the E8 theta function: Theta_{E_8}(-1/\tau) = \tau^4 Theta_{E_8}(\tau).
Established the relationship between Selberg trace formula and lengths of closed geodesics on compact hyperbolic surfaces.
