The denominator formula for the Monster Lie algebra is the product expansion for the modular function $j(z)-j(\tau)$ given in terms of the Hecke system of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$-modular functions $j_n(\tau)$. It is prominent in…

By work of Bringmann, Ono, and Rhoades it is known that the generating function of the $M_2$-rank of partitions without repeated odd parts is the so-called holomorphic part of a certain harmonic Maass form. Here we improve the standing of…

Based on the combinatorial description of the moduli spaces of curves provided by Strebel differentials, Witten and Kontsevich have introduced combinatorial cohomology classes $W_{(m_0,m_1,m_2,\dots),n}$, and conjectured that these can be…

To every $k$-dimensional modular invariant vector space we associate a modular form on $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $2k$. We explore number theoretic properties of this form and find a sufficient condition for its vanishing which yields…

We discover a non-trivial relation between the mock modular generating functions of the level $1$ and level $N$ Hurwitz class numbers. This relation yields a holomorphic modular form of weight $\frac{3}{2}$ and level $4N$, where $N > 1$ is…

In this paper, the generating functions of Garvans so-called $k$-ranks are used, to define a family of mock Eisenstein series. The $k$-rank moments are then expressed as partition traces of these functions. We explore the modular properties…

In 2010, Zagier described a new phenomenon which he called quantum modularity. This connected various examples coming from disparate fields which exhibit near-modular behavior. In the fifteen years since, Zagier's philosophy has informed…

We study two types of crank moments and two types of rank moments for overpartitions. We show that the crank moments and their derivatives, along with certain linear combinations of the rank moments and their derivatives, can be written in…

Ramanujan's original definition of mock theta functions from 1920 involves their asymptotic behaviors at roots of unity on the boundary of the disk of convergence $|q|<1$. More recently this topic has been related by several authors,…

Noncompact forms of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum groups U_q(g) with (H_i)* = H_i, (X_i^{+-})* = s_i X_i^{-+} for s_i= +-1 are studied at roots of unity. This covers g = so(n,2p), su(n,p), so*(2l), sp(n,p), sp(l,R), and exceptional cases.…

Ramanujan derived a sequence of even weight $2n$ quasimodular forms $U_{2n}(q)$ from derivatives of Jacobi's weight $3/2$ theta function. Using the generating function for this sequence, one can construct sequences of quasimodular forms of…

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,…

The theory of elliptic modular forms has gained significant momentum from the discovery of relaxed yet well-behaved notions of modularity, such as mock modular forms, higher order modular forms, and iterated Eichler-Shimura integrals.…

In this paper we construct a modular form f of weight one attached to an imaginary quadratic field K. This form, which is non-holomorphic and not a cusp form, has several curious properties. Its negative Fourier coefficients are non-zero…
