Description

In this paper, the Euclidean magnetic group of translations and rotations in a constant magnetic field is discussed in detail. The eigenfunctions of finite magnetic translations are shown to be related to the quasi periodic Jacobi theta functions, whose group theoretical properties under modular transformations are simple discussed. Invariance under finite rotations is very important; it leads to the two fundamental lattices of 60 degrees and 90 degrees already appearing in the theory of the phase transitions of Type II superconductors
