The completion ${\mathcal{E}}_{\Lambda }(s)={\pi }^{-s}\Gamma (s)E_{\Lambda }(s)$ satisfies ${\mathcal{E}}_{\Lambda }(s)=m(\Lambda {)}^{-1}{\mathcal{E}}_{{\Lambda }^{\vee }}(n/2-s)$. Its simple poles at zero and $n/2$ have residues $-1$ and $m(\Lambda {)}^{-1}$. The pole-subtracted theta integral for an Epstein zeta function gives both the continuation and this dual lattice symmetry.

For a full-rank Euclidean lattice $\Lambda \subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$, its dual lattice isIf $\Lambda =B{\mathbb{Z}}^n$, then ${\Lambda }^{\prime }=B^{-\mathsf{T}}{\mathbb{Z}}^n$, $m(\Lambda )=|\det B|$ and $m({\Lambda }^{\prime })=m(\Lambda {)}^{-1}$. The characters of a real torus identify the additive dual lattice with the multiplicative character group byThe map is well defined precisely because $u\in {\Lambda }^{\prime }$, and is injective. For surjectivity, a continuous group homomorphism from the compact torus into ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$ has compact image. Its modulus has logarithm a homomorphism into $(\mathbb{R},+)$ with compact image, hence is zero, so the image lies in the unit circle. Pull the character back to ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. Its continuous real lift under $t\mapsto e^{2\pi it}$, normalized to zero at the origin, is additive: its additive defect is an integer-valued continuous function and vanishes at the origin. A continuous additive function is $⟨u,x⟩$ for a unique $u$. Triviality on $\Lambda$ says $u\in {\Lambda }^{\prime }$, proving surjectivity.

Use the Fourier transform convention $\hat{f}(u)={\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^n}f(x)e^{-2\pi i⟨u,x⟩}dx$, and take $f$ to be a Schwartz function. The periodization of a Schwartz function $P_f(x)={\sum }_{\lambda \in \Lambda }f(x+\lambda )$ is smooth and $\Lambda$-periodic. On a fundamental cell $F$, the coefficient of the torus character ${\chi }_u$ isThe equality follows by translating each cell and using $e^{2\pi i⟨u,\lambda ⟩}=1$. The rapidly convergent Fourier series can be evaluated at zero, yielding the Poisson summation formula for a Euclidean latticeThis argument keeps track of the covolume factor rather than tacitly assuming a unit-volume lattice.

For $\tau$ in the complex upper half-plane, let $g_{\tau }(x)=e^{\pi i\tau |x{|}^2}$. Scaling the self-dual real Gaussian function gives its Fourier transform at $\tau =it$, $t>0$, and holomorphic continuation in $\tau$ gives the complex Gaussian Fourier transformThe branch is $\exp [-(n/2)\mathrm{Log}(-i\tau )]$ with the logarithm on the right half-plane; it is positive for $\tau =it$. Both the integrals and the lattice sums are locally normally convergent on the complex upper half-plane. Applying the Poisson summation formula proves the lattice theta functional equationNo integrality or self-duality hypothesis on the lattice is needed.

Put $a=n/2$, $m=m(\Lambda )$ and ${\theta }_{\Lambda }(t)={\Theta }_{\Lambda }(it)$. The Epstein zeta function converges absolutely for $\mathrm{Re}s>a$, and its Mellin transform representation isAt infinity, ${\theta }_{\Lambda }(t)-1$ decays exponentially. Define the entire functionOn $(0,1)$, substitute ${\theta }_{\Lambda }(t)=m^{-1}{t}^{-a}{\theta }_{{\Lambda }^{\prime }}(1/t)$ and then $u=1/t$. Isolate the two elementary terms before integrating; this gives the pole-subtracted theta integral for an Epstein zeta functionThe formula initially holds for $\mathrm{Re}s>a$ and continues the completed Epstein zeta function meromorphically to all $\mathbb{C}$. Apply the same formula to the dual lattice at $a-s$, using $m({\Lambda }^{\prime })=m^{-1}$ and ${\Lambda }^{\prime \prime }=\Lambda$. The entire terms and the two rational terms match, provingFinally $E_{\Lambda }(s)={\pi }^s{\mathcal{E}}_{\Lambda }(s)/\Gamma (s)$ also continues meromorphically. Its only pole is a simple one at $s=n/2$, with residue ${\pi }^{n/2}/[m(\Lambda )\Gamma (n/2)]$; the pole of the completed function at zero is cancelled by $1/\Gamma (s)$, and $E_{\Lambda }(0)=-1$. The residues and this cancellation make explicit why subtracting the constant theta term was necessary.
