Properties of four quintic theta functions are developed in parallel with those of the classical Jacobi null theta functions. The quintic theta functions are shown to satisfy analogues of Jacobi's quartic theta function identity and…

We show that all of Ramanujan's mock theta functions of order 3, Watson's three additional mock theta functions of order 3, the Rogers-Ramanujan q-series, and 6 mock theta functions of order 5 take on irrational values at the points q=\pm…

Mock theta functions were introduced by Ramanujan in 1920 but a proper understanding of mock modularity has emerged only recently with the work of Zwegers in 2002. In these lectures we describe three manifestations of this apparently exotic…

The study of arithmetic properties of coefficients of modular forms $f(\tau) = \sum a(n)q^n$ has a rich history, including deep results regarding congruences in arithmetic progressions. Recently, work of C.-S. Radu, S. Ahlgren, B. Kim, N.…

We will use a discrete analogue of the classical Laplace method to show that the main term of the asymptotic expansions of certain entire functions, including Ramanujan's entire function $A_{q}(z)$, can be expressed in terms of…

In 2010 Zagier introduced the notion of a quantum modular form. One of his first examples was the "strange" function $F(q)$ of Kontsevich. Here we produce a new example of a quantum modular form by making use of some of Ramanujan's mock…

We study families of partitions with gap conditions that were introduced by Schur and Andrews, and describe their fundamental connections to combinatorial q-series and automorphic forms. In particular, we show that the generating functions…

We formulate and prove the analogue of the Ramanujan Conjectures for modular forms of half-integral weight subject to some ramification restriction in the setting of a polynomial ring over a finite field. This is applied to give an…

We provide a framework for relating certain q-series defined by sums over partitions to multiple zeta values. In particular, we introduce a space of polynomial functions on partitions for which the associated q-series are q-analogues of…

Let M(q)=\sum c(n) q^n be one of Ramanujan's mock theta functions. We establish the existence of infinitely many linear congruences of the form c(An+B) \equiv 0 (mod \ell^j), where A is a multiple of \ell and an auxiliary prime p. Moreover,…

We give evaluations of certain Borwein's theta functions which appear in Ramanujan theory of alternative elliptic modular bases. Most of this theory where developed by B.C. Berndt, S. Bhargava and F.G. Garvan. We also study the most general…

False theta functions form a family of functions with intriguing modular properties and connections to mock modular forms. In this paper, we take the first step towards investigating modular transformations of higher rank false theta…

In a private communication, K. Ono conjectured that any mock theta function of weight 1/2 or 3/2 can be congruent modulo a prime $p$ to a weakly holomorphic modular form for just a few values of $p$. In this paper we describe when such a…

In the paper, we give partition-theoretic results for the coefficients of some mock theta functions and prove their congruence properties. Some recurrence relations connecting the coefficients of the mock theta functions with certain…

We extend the recently developed theory of Roehrig and Zwegers on indefinite theta functions to prove certain power series are modular forms. As a consequence, we obtain several power series identities for powers of the generating function…

We develop the theory of copartitions, which are a generalization of partitions with connections to many classical topics in partition theory, including Rogers-Ramanujan partitions, theta functions, mock theta functions, partitions with…

We prove a general result on Bailey pairs and show that two Bailey pairs of Bringmann and Kane are special cases. We also show how to use a change of base formula to pass from the pairs of Bringmann and Kane to pairs used by Andrews in his…

This paper investigates a new family of special functions referred to as hypergeometric zeta functions. Derived from the integral representation of the classical Riemann zeta function, hypergeometric zeta functions exhibit many properties…

By the theory of Eisenstein series, generating functions of various divisor functions arise as modular forms. It is natural to ask whether further divisor functions arise systematically in the theory of mock modular forms. We establish,…

We consider the classes of quasimultiplicative, semimultiplicative and Selberg multiplicative functions as extensions of the class of multiplicative functions. We apply these concepts to Ramanujan's sum and its analogue with respect to…
