## Magic determinants of Somos sequences and theta functions.(English)Zbl 1217.11016

Based on the fact that the determinant of the matrix $\begin{pmatrix} a&b\\ c&d\\ e&f \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} t&u&v\\ x&y&z \end{pmatrix}$ is zero, the author proves various identities with Somos sequences and elliptic theta functions.
