Using the machinery from the theory of Calabi-Yau differential equations, we find formulas for $1/\pi^2$ of hypergeometric and non-hypergeometric types.
Ramanujan's notebooks contain many elegant identities and one of the celebrated identities is a formula for $\zeta(2k+1)$. In 1972, Grosswald gave an extension of the Ramanujan's formula for $\zeta(2k+1)$, which contains a polynomial of…
We briefly review some of Ramanujan's contributions to mathematics, including his $1/\pi$ series, his work on modular forms, and his work on partitions. We briefly review his life, including his collaboration with Hardy. Finally, we give a…
Ramanujan in his notebook recorded two modular equations involving multiplier with moduli of degrees (1,7) and (1,23). In this paper, we find some new Ramanujan's modular equations involving multiplier with moduli of degrees (3,5) and…
We find new hypergeometric identities which, in a certain aspect, are stron-ger than others of the same style found by the author in a previous paper. The identities in Section \ref{section-pi} are related to some Ramanujan-type series for…
The Rogers-Ramanujan identities and various analogous identities (Gordon, Andrews-Bressoud, Capparelli, etc.) form a family of very deep identities concerned with integer partitions. These identities (written in generating function form)…
The product sides of the Rogers--Ramanujan identities and alike often appear to be "transparently modular" (functions). The old work by Rogers (1894) and recent work by Rosengren make use (somewhat implicitly) of this fact for proving the…
We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then…
The goal of this work is to formulate a systematical method for looking for the simple closed form or continued fraction representation of a class of rational series. As applications, we obtain the continued fraction representations for the…
We use a q-series identity by Ramanujan to give a combinatorial interpretation of Ramanujan's tau function which involves t-cores and a new class of partitions which we call (m,k)-capsids. The same method can be applied in conjunction with…
An identity by Ramanujan related to the multisection of Bernoulli numbers is revisited. Two alternative approaches are proposed, both relying on the multisection technique. A geometric approach reveals the role played by the symmetries of…
The zeta function attached to a finite complex $X_\Gamma$ arising from the Bruhat-Tits building for $\PGL_3(F)$ was studied in \cite{KL}, where a closed form expression was obtained by a combinatorial argument. This identity can be…
This paper investigates Srinivasa Ramanujan's initial intuitive methodology for assigning the finite value -1/12 to the sum of the divergent infinite series of all positive integers. We systematically examine Ramanujan's initial method,…
We present a systematic approach to thermodynamical identities and illustrate the power of these methods by displaying Mathematica notebooks to deal with a large variety of such identities. In concrete examples these can involve rather…
We prove that there is a correspondence between Ramanujan-type formulas for 1/\pi, and formulas for Dirichlet L-values. The same method also allows us to resolve certain values of the Epstein zeta function in terms of rapidly converging…
In this article we give the theoretical background for generating Ramanujan type $1/\pi^{2\nu}$ formulas. As applications of our method we give a general construction of $1/\pi^4$ series and examples of $1/\pi^6$ series. We also study the…
Sometimes we need the approximate value of the partition number in a simple and efficient way. There are already several formulae to calculate the partition number p(n). But they are either inconvenient for most people (not majored in math)…
In terms of the difference operators, we establish several curious transformation and summation formulas for basic hypergeometric series. When the parameters are specified, they produce $q$-analogues of Ramanujan's three series for 1/$\pi$…
Using Ramanujan's identities and the Weierstrass-Enneper representation of minimal surfaces and the analogue for Born-Infeld solitons, we derive further non-trivial identities.
Many classical $q$-series identities, such as the Rogers--Ramanujan identities, yield combinatorial interpretations in terms of integer partitions. Here we consider algebraically manipulating some of the classical $q$-series to yield…
