The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…
Motivated by Andrews' partitions with initial repetitions, we derive parity formulas for several functions for this class of partitions. In many cases, we present an infinite family of Ramanujan-like congruences modulo 2.
A new sums-of-tails identity involving two parameters $b$ and $d$ is obtained and is used to derive more results of similar type. One of Ramanujan's sums-of-tails identities from the Lost Notebook is shown to be a special case of our…
In this article we present ways to evaluate certain sums, products and continued fractions using tools from the theory of elliptic functions. The specific results appear to be new, although similar ones can be found in the leterature; in…
In answer to a question of Andrews about finding combinatorial proofs of two identities in Ramanujan's "Lost" Notebook, we obtain weighted forms of Euler's theorem on partitions with odd parts and distinct parts. This work is inspired by…
This paper is a tribute to the genius of the legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 - 26 April 1920) in the centenary year of his death. The life story of Ramanujan is so well known that it needs no elaboration…
We present a generalization of the construction of graphs by Lubotzky, Phillips and Sarnak in their celebrated article "Ramanujan graphs". The new approach consists in using octonion algebras rather than quaternions. A key tool is the…
Using the simple properties of Riemman integrable functions, Ramanujan's formula for sum of the square roots of first n natural numbers has been generalized to include r'th roots where r is any real number greater than 1.As an application…
During his lifetime, Ramanujan provided many formulae relating binomial sums to special values of the Gamma function. Based on numerical computations, Van Hamme recently conjectured $p$-adic analogues to such formulae. Using a combination…
While examples of Ramanujan-type congruences are amply available via their relation to Hecke operators, it remains unclear which of them should be considered of combinatorial origin and which of them are mere artifacts of the connection…
By using the theory of vertex operator algebras, we gave a new proof of the famous Ramanujan's modulus 5 modular equation from his "Lost Notebook" (p.139 in \cite{R}). Furthermore, we obtained an infinite list of $q$-identities for all odd…
In this note, we shall give a brief survey of the results that are found in Ramanujan's Lost Notebook related to cranks. Recent work by B. C. Berndt, H. H. Chan, S. H. Chan and W. -C. Liaw have shown conclusively that cranks was the last…
We prove a kind of bilateral semi-terminating series related to Ramanujan-like series for negative powers of $\pi$, and conjecture a type of supercongruences associated to them. We support this conjecture by checking all the cases for many…
The recent work by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava proves the existence of bipartite Ramanujan (multi)graphs of all degrees and all sizes. However, that paper did not provide a polynomial time algorithm to actually compute such graphs.…
We derive two new analogues of a transformation formula of Ramanujan involving the Gamma and Riemann zeta functions present in the Lost Notebook. Both involve infinite series consisting of Hurwitz zeta functions and yield modular relations.…
In this short note, we aim to discuss some summations due to Ramanujan, their generalizations and some allied series
In this article, we construct new families of Ramanujan complexes with local structure distinct from all previously known examples. Our approach is based on unitary groups over number fields, more specifically on what we call super-definite…
In the first part of the paper we characterize certain systems of first order nonlinear differential equations whose space of solutions is an $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$-module. We prove that such systems, called Ramanujan systems of…
The Ramanujan sum $c_n(k)$ is defined as the sum of $k$-th powers of the primitive $n$-th roots of unity. We investigate arithmetic functions of $r$ variables defined as certain sums of the products $c_{m_1}(g_1(k))...c_{m_r}(g_r(k))$,…
In this short note we use the umbral formalism to derive the Ramanujan Master Theorem and discuss its extension to more general cases.
