Abstract
The luminosities and effective temperatures, as well as the whole bolometric lightcurves of nonlinear convective RR Lyrae models with 0.0001<Z<0.006 are transformed into the SDSS photometric system. The obtained ugriz lightcurves, mean magnitudes and colors, pulsation amplitudes and color-color loops are shown and analytical relations connecting pulsational to intrinsic stellar parameters, similarly to the ones currently used in the Johnson-Cousins filters, are derived. Finally the behaviour in the color-color planes is compared with available observations in the literature and possible systematic uncertainties affecting this comparison are discussed.
