Comments

The hexagonal lattice is the familiar 2-dimensional lattice in which each point has 6 neighbors. This is sometimes called the triangular lattice.

Cubic AGM theta functions: a(q) (see A004016), b(q) (A005928), c(q) (A005882).

Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

On page 111 of Conway and Sloane is "If the origin is moved to a deep hole the theta series is Theta_{hex+[1]}(z) = theta_2(z) psi_6(3z) + theta_3(z) psi_3(3z) = 3 q^{1/3} + 3 q^{4/3} + 6 q^{7/3} + 6 q^{13/3} + ... (63)" where the psi_k() for integer k is defined on page 103 equation (11) as psi_k(z) = e^{Pi i/z^2} theta_3(Pi z/k | z) = Sum_{m in Z} q^{(m + 1/k)^2}. - Michael Somos, Sep 10 2018
