Applications of Ramanujan's work on Eisenstein series

Number Theory 2023-05-02 v2

Abstract

Ramanujan (1916) expressed quotients of certain q-series as polynomials of Eisenstein series of degree 2, 4, 6 and derived the famous Ramanujan's differential equations. We continue this research with the variants of Eisenstein-type series which Hahn (2007) recently introduced. We also prove new formulas of convolution sums for divisor sum functions as subsequent work of Cheng- Williams (2004) and Huard-Ou-Spearman-Williams (2002).
