The theta series of a lattice is the generating function for the number of vectors with norm in the lattice.
Theta series for a number of lattices are implemented in the Wolfram Language as LatticeData[lattice, "ThetaSeriesFunction"].
The following table summarized lattice with closed-form theta series. Here, is a Jacobi theta function.
