In mathematics, the elliptic gamma function is a generalization of the q-Gamma function, which is itself the q-analog of the ordinary Gamma function. It is given by

It obeys several identities:

and

where θ is the q-theta function.

When , it essentially reduces to the infinite q-Pochhammer symbol:
