- This is the theory of "automorphic functions" in dimension 1.
- For a first reference I would suggest: C. L. Siegel, Topics in
- Complex Function Theory, volume II (Automorphic Functions and Abelian
- Integrals), English translation by A. Shenitzer & M. Tretkoff,
- Interscience Tracts in Pure & Appl. Math., No. 25, Wiley-Interscience,
- 1971.
