Sums of the form add((-1)^n q^(n(n-1)/2) x^n, n>=0) are called partial theta functions. In his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded many identities for those functions. In 2003, Warnaar found an elegant formula for a sum of two partial theta…

S. Ramanujan introduced a technique in 1913 for providing analytic expressions for certain Mellin-type integrals which is now known as Ramanujan's Master Theorem. This technique was communicated through his "Quarterly Reports" and has a…

We derive integral representations in terms of the Macdonald functions for the square modulus $s\mapsto | \Gamma ( a + i s ) |^2$ of the Gamma function and its Fourier transform when $a<0$ and $a\not= -1,-2,\ldots $, generalizing known…

The values of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers, $\zeta(2n+1)$, are shown to admit a representation proportional to the finite-part of the divergent integral $\int_0^{\infty} t^{-2n-1} \operatorname{csch}t\,\mathrm{d}t$.…

In 1914, Ramanujan gave a list of 17 identities expressing $1/\pi$ as linear combinations of values of hypergeometric functions at certain rational numbers. Since then, identities of similar nature have been discovered by many authors.…

The classical transformation of Jacobi's theta function admits a simple proof by producing an integral representation that yields this invariance apparent. This idea seems to have first appeared in the work of S. Ramanujan. Several examples…

The construction of a multiresolution analysis starts with specification of a scale function. The Fourier transform of this function is defined by an infinite product. The convergence of this product is usually discussed in the context of…

The first part of this thesis proposes a general approach to infinite dimensional non-Gaussian analysis, including the Poissonian case. In particular distribution theory is developed. Using appropriate integral transformations, generalized…

The classical Grothendieck inequality is viewed as a statement about representations of functions of two variables over discrete domains by integrals of two-fold products of functions of one variable. An analogous statement is proved,…

We find an involution as a combinatorial proof of a Ramanujan's partial theta identity. Based on this involution, we obtain a Franklin type involution for squares in the sense that the classical Franklin involution provides a combinatorial…

Faulhaber's formula expresses the sum of the first $n$ positive integers, each raised to an integer power $p\geq 0$, as a polynomial in $n$ of degree $p+1$. Ramanujan expressed this sum for $p\in\{\frac12,\frac32,\frac52,\frac72\}$ as the…

In 1953, Carlitz~\cite{Car53} showed that all permutation polynomials over $\F_q$, where $q>2$ is a power of a prime, are generated by the special permutation polynomials $x^{q-2}$ (the inversion) and $ ax+b$ (affine functions, where $0\neq…

We find closed-form expressions for the Schur indices of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2^{*}$ super Yang-Mills theory with unitary gauge groups for arbitrary ranks via the Fermi-gas formulation. They can be written as a sum over the Young diagrams…

A framework to represent and compute two-loop $N$-point Feynman diagrams as double-integrals is discussed. The integrands are 'generalised one-loop type" multi-point functions multiplied by simple weighting factors. The final integrations…

The two-fold aim of the paper is to unify and generalize on the one hand the double integrals of Beukers for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3),$ and those of the second author for Euler's constant $\gamma$ and its alternating analog $\ln(4/\pi),$…

In \cite{TallaWaffo2025arxiv2511.02843} we introduced even polynomials $\Xi_n,\Lambda_n\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$ arising from integral representations of $\beta(2n)/\pi^{2n-1}$ and $\zeta(2n+1)/\pi^{2n}$. In this paper we give explicit closed…

Breakthrough work of Bourgain, Demeter, and Guth recently established that decoupling inequalities can prove powerful results on counting integral solutions to systems of Diophantine equations. In this note we demonstrate that in…

Borwein integrals are one of the most popularly known phenomena in contemporary mathematics. They were found in 2001 by David Borwein and Jonathan Borwein and consist of a simple family of integrals involving the cardinal sine function…

We say that a permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\cdots \pi_n \in \mathfrak{S}_n$ has a peak at index $i$ if $\pi_{i-1} < \pi_i > \pi_{i+1}$. Let $\mathcal{P}(\pi)$ denote the set of indices where $\pi$ has a peak. Given a set $S$ of positive…

We give a simple proof of Hanspeter Schmid's result that $K_n:=2\int_0^\infty\cos t\,\prod_{k=0}^n\mathrm{sinc}\left(\frac{t}{2k+1}\right)\mathrm{d}t=\pi/2$ if $n\in\{0,1,\ldots,55\}$, and $K_n<\pi/2$ if $n\geq 56$. Furthermore, we present…
