We prove that the classical theta function $\theta_4$ may be expressed as $$ \theta_4(v,\tau) = \theta_4(0,\tau) \exp[- \sum_{p\geq 1} \sum_{k\geq 0} \frac {1}{p} \bigg(\frac {\sin \pi v}{(\sin (k+{1/2})\pi \tau)}\bigg)^{2p}].$$ We obtain…
Various new identities, recurrence relations, integral representations, connection and explicit formulas are established for the Bernoulli, Euler numbers and the values of Riemann's zeta function. To do this, we explore properties of some…
Using a probabilistic approach, we derive several interesting identities involving beta functions. Our results generalize certain well-known combinatorial identities involving binomial coefficients and gamma functions.
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…
In this paper we set up a bivariate representation of partial theta functions which not only unifies some famous identities for partial theta functions due to Andrews and Warnaar, et al. but also unveils a new characteristic of such…
These notes contain essentially a rewriting of several properties of two well-known quantities, the so-called theta symbol (or triangular symbol), which is rational, and the 6j symbol, which is usually irrational, in terms of two related…
In 1994, Kac and Wakimoto found the denominator identity for classical affine Lie superalgebras, generalizing that for affine Lie algebras. As an application, they obtained power series identities for some powers of $\triangle(q)$, where…
False theta functions closely resemble ordinary theta functions, however they do not have the modular transformation properties that theta functions have. In this paper, we find modular completions for false theta functions, which among…
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 this short survey we give a description of the theta functions of algebraic curves, half-integer theta-nulls, and the fundamental theta functions. We describe how to determine such fundamental theta functions and describe the components…
Using a specific form of the triple product identity, polygonal number identities are stated. Further number identities are examined that can be considered identities related to modular sets of numbers. The identities can be used to give…
The bilateral series corresponding to many of the third-, fifth-, sixth- and eighth order mock theta functions may be derived as special cases of $_2\psi_2$ series \[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{(a,c;q)_n}{(b,d;q)_n}z^n. \] Three…
It is shown how many of the partial theta function identities in Ramanujan's lost notebook can be generalized to infinite families of such identities. Key in our construction is the Bailey lemma and a new generalization of the Jacobi triple…
We prove a seesaw identity for theta functions with polynomials, and establish a formula for the corresponding theta contractions. We then use it to determine the restrictions of theta lifts to sub-Grassmannians, with some applications.
In this paper we generalize the famous Jacobi's triple product identity, considered as an identity for theta functions with characteristics and their derivatives, to higher genus/dimension. By applying the results and methods developed in…
Identities between Whittaker and modified Bessel functions are derived for particular complex orders. Certain polynomials appear in such identities, which satisfy a fourth order differential equation (not of hypergeometric type), and they…
In this paper, we study modular transformation properties of a certain class of functions with indefinite quadratic forms.
We give a new theta-function identity, a special case of which is utilised to prove Kawanaka's Macdonald polynomial conjecture. The theta-function identity further yields a transformation formula for multivariable elliptic hypergeometric…
An algorithm to obtain equations between theta functions with integral characteristics evaluated at $\tau$ and $p\tau$ for $g>1$ is presented.
We define generalised zeta functions associated to indefinite quadratic forms of signature (g-1,1) -- and more generally, to complex symmetric matrices whose imaginary part has signature (g-1,1) -- and we investigate their properties. These…
