Fix $\alpha,\theta >0$, and consider the sequence $(\alpha n^{\theta} \mod 1)_{n\ge 1}$. Since the seminal work of Rudnick--Sarnak (1998), and due to the Berry--Tabor conjecture in quantum chaos, the fine-scale properties of these dilated…

We evaluate some finite and infinite sums involving $q$-trigonometric and $q$-digamma functions. Upon letting $q$ approach $1$, one obtains corresponding sums for the classical trigonometric and the digamma functions. Our key argument is a…

In a handwritten manuscript published with his lost notebook, Ramanujan stated without proofs forty identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan functions. We observe that the functions that appear in Ramanujan's identities can be obtained from a…

Bhoria, Eyyunni and Maji recently obtained a four-parameter $q$-series identity which gives as special cases not only all five entries of Ramanujan on pages 354 and 355 of his second notebook but also allows them to obtain an analytical…

The mock theta conjectures are ten identities involving Ramanujan's fifth-order mock theta functions. The conjectures were proven by Hickerson in 1988 using q-series methods. Using methods from the theory of harmonic Maass forms,…

Recently, Bruinier and Ono proved that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms are given as "traces" of singular moduli for harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms. Here, we prove that similar results hold for the…

In this paper we add to the literature on the combinatorial nature of the mock theta functions, a collection of curious $q$-hypergeometric series introduced by Ramanujan in his last letter to Hardy in 1920, which we now know to be important…

We establish the mapping relations between analytic functions and periodic functions using the abstract operators $\cos(h\partial_x)$ and $\sin(h\partial_x)$, including the mapping relations between power series and trigonometric series,…

Previously, we proved an identity for theta functions of degree eight, and several applications of it were also discussed. This identity is a natural extension of the addition formula for the Weierstrass sigma-function. In this paper we…

Let $\Bbb Z$ be the set of integers. For positive integers $a,b,c$ and $n$ let $N(a,b,c;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax^2+by^2+cz^2$, and let $t(a,b,c;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by…

Page 332 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a compelling identity for $\zeta(1/2)$, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. On the same page, Ramanujan also recorded the series, \begin{align*} \frac{1^r}{\exp(1^s x)…

Using Krattenthaler's operator method, we give a new proof of Warnaar's recent elliptic extension of Krattenthaler's matrix inversion. Further, using a theta function identity closely related to Warnaar's inversion, we derive summation and…

We will use analytic function theory and Fourier analysis to establish a characterization for some classical umbral calculus, which will focus on the generalization of the evaluation function. Although we cannot cover all the umbral…

The aim of this article is to present in a self-contained way identities arising in elementary number theory, among which the following one: $$ \sum_{d\mid n}\frac{\mu^2(d)}{\varphi(d)\,d^s}=\prod_{p\mid n}\left(1+\frac{1}{(p-1)p^s}\right).…

We introduce the multiple zeta functions with structures similar to those of symmetric functions such as Schur $P$-, Schur $Q$-, symplectic and orthogonal functions in the representation theory. We first consider their basic properties such…

In this paper we present a simple method for deriving an alternative form of the functional equation for Riemann's Zeta function. The connections between some functional equations obtained implicitly by Leonhard Euler in his work "Remarques…

By employing the classical tools from the theory of $q$-series and theta functions, new fascinating identities on different continued fractions can be achieved. In this article, we use the product expansion of Jacobi's theta function to…

We consider the partial theta function, i.e. the sum of the bivariate series $\theta (q,z):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$ for $q\in (0,1)$, $z\in \mathbb{C}$. We show that for any value of the parameter $q\in (0,1)$ all zeros of the…

We state and prove product formulae for several generating functions for sequences $(a_n)_{n\ge0}$ that are defined by the property that $Pa_n+b^2$ is a square, where $P$ and $b$ are given integers. In particular, we prove corresponding…

In this article we study properties of Ramanujan's mock theta functions that can be expressed in Lerch sums. We mainly show that each Lerch sum is actually the integral of a Jacobian theta function (here we show that for $\vartheta_3(t,q)$…
