We demonstrate how formulas that express Hecke-type double-sums in terms of theta functions and Appell--Lerch functions -- the building blocks of Ramanujan's mock theta functions -- can be used to give general string function formulas for…

In this paper we add to the literature on the combinatorial nature of the mock theta functions, a collection of curious $q$-hypergeometric series introduced by Ramanujan in his last letter to Hardy in 1920, which we now know to be important…

In this short note, a companion of [20], we discuss several families of $q$-series identities in connection to false and mock theta functions, characters of modules of vertex algebras, and "sum of tails".

In this paper we obtain explicit formulas for mock theta functions $\Phi^{[m,s]}(\tau, z_1, z_2,t)$ $(m \in \frac12 \mathbf{N}, s \in \frac12 \mathbf{Z})$ by using the coroot lattice of the Lie superalgebra $D(2,1,a)$ and the Kac-Peterson's…

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 describe a family of indefinite theta functions of signature $(1,1)$ that can be expressed in terms of trace functions of vertex algebras built from cones in lattices. The family of indefinite theta functions considered has interesting…

In this paper, by the method of comparing coefficients and the inverse technique, we establish the corresponding variate forms of two identities of Andrews and Yee for mock theta functions, as well as a few allied but unusual $q$-series…

We develop a resurgent approach to the problem of unique continuation of mock theta functions across their natural boundary. The starting point is the representation of the associated Mordell-Appell integrals as Laplace transforms of…

The authors of cond-mat/9911072 claim to introduce "new representations of the Hecke algebra." These representations are shown to be the XXC models introduced two years ago in solv-int/9712008, and repeatedly studied and referred to in…

We express a family of Hecke--Appell-type sums of Hikami and Lovejoy in terms of mixed mock modular forms; in particular, we express the sums in terms of Appell functions and theta functions. Hikami and Lovejoy's family of…

In this note we give new proofs of two recent mock theta function identities discovered by Garvan and Mukhopadhyay. We also give a new proof of an old mock theta function identity of Watson. Using the setting of Appell function properties…

Ramanujan presented four identities for third order mock theta functions in his Lost Notebook. In 2005, with the aid of complex analysis, Yesilyurt first proved these four identities. Recently, Andrews et al. provided different proofs by…

We develop a setting in which one can evaluate certain Hecke-Rogers series in terms of false theta functions. We apply our setting to recent false theta function identities of Chan and Kim as well as Andrews and Warnaar.

We prove several infinite families of $q$-series identities for false theta functions and related series. These identities are motivated by considerations of characters of modules of vertex operator superalgebras and of quantum…

This paper studies algebraic and analytic structures associated with the Lerch zeta function. It defines a family of two-variable Hecke operators $\{ T_m: \, m \ge 1\}$ given by $T_m(f)(a, c) = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} f(\frac{a+k}{m},…

String functions are important building blocks of characters of integrable highest modules over affine Kac--Moody algebras. Kac and Peterson computed string functions for affine Lie algebras of type $A_{1}^{(1)}$ in terms of Dedekind eta…

Since the study by Jacobi and Hecke, Hecke-type series have received a lot of attention. Unlike such series associated with indefinite quadratic forms, identities on Hecke-type series associated with definite quadratic forms are quite rare…
