The renormalization of MZV was until now carried out by algebraic means. We show that renormalization in general, of the multiple zeta functions in particular, is more than mere convention. We show that simple calculus methods allow us to…
In this paper, we study the $5$-dissections of certain Ramanujan's theta functions, particularly $\psi(q)\psi(q^2), \varphi(-q)$ and $\varphi(-q)\varphi(-q^2)$, and derive an identity for $q(q;q)_{\infty}^6/(q^5;q^5)_{\infty}^6$ in terms of…
In this thesis, we investigate several aspects of models with a multiplicity of Higgs bosons. We start by focusing on models with two Higgs doublets. We claim that one of the most used models in the literature -- the so-called real…
We develop the notion of Wilf-Zeilberger seeds as a powerful framework for generating WZ-pairs and for lifting classical hypergeometric identities to the $q$-setting. As an application, we systematically obtain a large family of…
In this paper, we use a regularized theta lifting to construct harmonic Maass forms corresponding to binary theta functions of weight $k \ge 2$ under the $\xi$-operator. As a result, we show that their holomorphic parts have algebraic…
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…
Hypergeometric functions of complex matrices were introduced by James in multivariate statistics. These special functions play many roles in random matrix theory. The main goal of this paper is to suggest a new use for them as holomorphic…
We explicitly prove the quantum modularity of partial theta series with even or odd periodic coefficients. As an application, we show that the Kontsevich-Zagier series $\mathscr{F}_t(q)$ which matches (at a root of unity) the colored Jones…
We obtain a nontrivial upper bound for almost all elements of the sequences of real numbers which are multiplicative and at the prime indices are distributed according to the Sato--Tate density. Examples of such sequences come from…
In this article, we show that Fourier eigenmeasures supported on spheres with radii given by a locally finite sequence, which we call $k$-spherical measures, correspond to Fourier series exhibiting a modular-type transformation behaviour…
This paper proves quantum modularity of both functions from $\mathbb{Q}$ and $q$-series associated to the closed manifold obtained by $-\frac{1}{2}$ surgery on the figure-eight knot, $4_1(-1,2)$. In a sense, this is a companion to work of…
We consider expansions of products of theta-functions associated with arbitrary root systems in terms of nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials at $t=\infty$ divided by their norms. The latter are identified with the graded characters of…
We give insight into the critical problem of an open resonator that is subject to a perturbation outside of its cavity region. We utilize the framework of quasinormal modes (QNMs), which are the natural mode solutions to the open boundary…
Ramanujan in his second notebook recorded total of seven $P$--$Q$ modular equations involving theta--function $f(-q)$ with moduli of orders 1, 3, 5 and 15. In this paper, modular equations analogous to those recorded by Ramanujan are…
Utilizing a classification due to Lemke Oliver of eta-quotients which are also theta functions (here called eta-theta functions), Folsom, Garthwaite, Kang, Treneer, and the fourth author constructed a catalog of mock modular forms $V_{mn}$…
A (folklore?) conjecture states that no holomorphic modular form $F(\tau)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nq^n\in q\mathbb Z[[q]]$ exists, where $q=e^{2\pi i\tau}$, such that its anti-derivative $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nq^n/n$ has integral coefficients in…
Zagier introduced special bases for weakly holomorphic modular forms to give the new proof of Borcherds' theorem on the infinite product expansions of integer weight modular forms on $\SL_2(\ZZ)$ with a Heegner divisor. These good bases…
In previous papers it has been shown that the coefficients of terms in the large-$N$ expansion of a certain integrated four-point correlator of superconformal primary operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are…
In 1986, Andrews studied the function $\sigma(q)$ from Ramanujan's ``Lost" Notebook, and made several conjectures on its Fourier coefficients $S(n)$, which count certain partition ranks. In 1988, Andrews-Dyson-Hickerson famously resolved…
We show that the Dirichlet series associated to the Fourier coefficients of a half-integral weight Hecke eigenform at squarefree integers extends analytically to a holomorphic function in the half-plane $\re s\textgreater{}\tfrac{1}{2}$.…
