Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate lattice sums and provide a concise proof of Zagier’s identity using a telescoping method.
  • Introduced a new telescoping method for evaluating sums
  • Studied pairs of primitive lattice vectors in SL+(2, ℤ)
  • Analyzed convergence of determinant weighted sums
  • Confirmed convergence for the evaluated lattice sums
  • Derived the identity ∑ 1/∥x∥²∥y∥²∥x + y∥² = π/4
  • Presented a short proof of Zagier’s identity

Abstract

We study lattice sums Formula: see text taken over Formula: see text, i.e. the set of pairs Formula: see text of primitive lattice vectors in Formula: see text with Formula: see text. We prove convergence of these and similar (determinant weighted) sums and introduce a new telescoping method on Formula: see text that yields, in particular, Formula: see text and a short proof of Zagier’s identity Formula: see text.
