We study an elementary series that can be considered a relative of a series studied by Ramanujan in Part 1 of his Lost Notebooks. We derive a closed form for this series in terms of the inverse hyperbolic arctangent and the polylogarithm.…
The Ramanujan $_1\psi_1$ summation theorem in studied from the perspective of $q$-Jackson integrals, $q$-difference equations and connection formulas. This is an approach which has previously been shown to yield Bailey's very-well-poised…
We provide finite analogs of a pair of two-variable $q$-series identities from Ramanujan's lost notebook and a companion identity.
We announce a higher-dimensional generalization of the Bailey Transform, Bailey Lemma, and iterative ``Bailey chain'' concept in the setting of basic hypergeometric series very well-poised on unitary $A_{\ell}$ or symplectic $C_{\ell}$…
The Riemann zeta identity at even integers of Lettington, along with his other Bernoulli and zeta relations, are generalized. Other corresponding recurrences and determinant relations are illustrated. Another consequence is the application…
By virtue of Bailey's well-known bilateral 6\psi_6 summation formula and Watson's transformation formula,we extend the four-variable generalization of Ramanujan's reciprocity theorem due to Andrews to a five-variable one. Some relevant new…
In this paper, we investigate applications of the ordinary derivative operator, instead of the $q$-derivative operator, to the theory of $q$-series. As main results, many new summation and transformation formulas are established which are…
Page 332 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a compelling identity for $\zeta(1/2)$, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. On the same page, Ramanujan also recorded the series, \begin{align*} \frac{1^r}{\exp(1^s x)…
In the theory of the Nil-DAHA Fourier transform, the inner products of q-Hermite polynomials for the measure function multiplied by a level one theta function are the key. They are used to obtain expansions of products of any number of such…
Sander Zwegers showed that Ramanujan's mock theta functions are $q$-hypergeometric series, whose $q$-expansion coefficients are half of the Fourier coefficients of a non-holomorphic modular form. George Andrews, Henri Cohen, Freeman Dyson,…
At the 1987 Ramanujan Centenary meeting Dyson asked for a coherent group-theoretical structure for Ramanujan's mock theta functions analogous to Hecke's theory of modular forms. Many of Ramanujan's mock theta functions can be written in…
Ramanujan's Master theorem states that, under suitable conditions, the Mellin transform of an alternating power series provides an interpolation formula for the coefficients of this series. Ramanujan applied this theorem to compute several…
We discuss how reparameterization invariance connects a rotationally-invariant heavy particle effective theory with a single fermion to a Lorentz-invariant theory. Using Hilbert-series methods, a Lorentz-invariant operator basis is…
By making use of the multiplicate form of the extended Carlitz inverse series relations, we establish two general `dual' theorems of Jackson's summation formula for well--poised $_8\phi_7$-series. Their duplicate forms under the partition…
In his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded beautiful identities. These include earlier versions of Koshliakov's formula for the divisor function and the transformation formula for the logarithm of Dedekind's $\eta-$function. In this paper we…
It is shown that Ramanujan's cubic transformation of the Gauss hypergeometric function ${}_2F_1$ arises from a relation between modular curves, namely the covering of $X_0(3)$ by $X_0(9)$. In general, when $2\le N\le 7$ the N-fold cover of…
It seems that the literature suggests to go in two opposing directions simultaneously. On the one hand, many papers construct basis-independent quantities, since exactly these quantities appear in the expressions for observables. This means…
We study a continued fraction due to Ramanujan, that he recorded as Entry 12 in Chapter 16 of his second notebook. It is presented in Part III of Berndt's volumes on Ramanujan's notebooks. We give two alternate approaches to proving…
We obtain four Hecke-type double sums for three of Ramanujan's third order mock theta functions. We discuss how these four are related to the new mock theta functions of Andrews' work on $q$-orthogonal polynomials and Bringmann, Hikami, and…
We present q-series proofs of four identities involving sixth order mock theta functions from Ramanujan's lost notebook. We also show how Ramanujan's identities can be used to give a quick proof of four sixth order identities of Berndt and…
