Mock modularity of the $M_d$-rank of overpartitions

Number Theory 2017-06-05 v1

Abstract

We investigate the modular properties of a new partition rank, the MdM_d-rank of overpartitions. In fact this is an infinite family of ranks, indexed by the positive integer dd, that gives both the Dyson rank of overpartitions and the overpartition M2M_2-rank as special cases. The MdM_d-rank of overpartitions is the holomorphic part of a certain harmonic Maass form of weight 12\frac{1}{2}. We give the exact transformation of this harmonic Maass form along with a few identities for the MdM_d-rank.
