Abstract

The Landsberg–Schaar relation is a classical identity between quadratic Gauss sums, often used as a stepping stone to prove the law of quadratic reciprocity. The Landsberg–Schaar relation itself is usually proved by carefully taking a limit in the functional equation for Jacobi’s theta function. In this article, we present a direct proof, avoiding any analysis.
