In some recent work by D. G. Kendall and the author † on the number of points of a lattice which lie in a random circle the mean value of the variance emerged as a constant multiple of the value of the Epstein zeta-function Z(s) associated with the lattice, taken at the point s=. Because of the connexion with the problems of closest packing and covering it seemed likely that the minimum value of Z() would be attained for the hexagonal lattice; it is the purpose of this paper to prove this and to extend the result to other real values of the variable s.

Let be a positive definite binary quadratic form with real coefficients and discriminant b2 − 4ac = −1.Among such forms, let . The Epstein zeta function of f is denned to beRankin [7], Cassels [1], Ennola [5], and Diananda [4] between them proved that for every real s > 0,We prove a corresponding result for theta functions. For real α > 0, letThis function satisfies the functional equation(This may be proved by using the formula (4) below, and then twice applying the identity (8).)

Let h (m, n) = αm2 + 2δmn + βn2 be a positive definite quadratic form with determinant αβ–δ2 = 1. It may be put in the shapewith y > 0. We write (for s > 1)The function Zn(s) may be analytically continued over the whole s-plane. Its only singularity is a simple pole with residue π at s = 1.
