We study higher rank Jacobi partial and false theta functions (generalizations of the classical partial and false theta functions) associated to positive definite rational lattices. In particular, we focus our attention on certain Kostant's…
The mock theta conjectures are ten identities involving Ramanujan's fifth-order mock theta functions. The conjectures were proven by Hickerson in 1988 using q-series methods. Using methods from the theory of harmonic Maass forms,…
Determining the explicit forms and modularity for string functions and branching coefficients for Kac--Moody algebras after Kac, Peterson, and Wakimoto is an important problem. In a pair of papers, Borozenets and Mortenson determined the…
In this paper we offer some new identities associated with mock theta functions and establish new Bailey pairs related to indefinite quadratic forms. We believe our proof is instructive use of changing base of Bailey pairs, and offers new…
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…
It was recently shown that $q\omega(q)$, where $\omega(q)$ is one of the third order mock theta functions, is the generating function of $p_{\omega}(n)$, the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ such that all odd parts are less…
Ramanujan's lost notebook contains many mock theta functions and mock theta function identities not mentioned in his last letter to Hardy. For example, we find the four tenth-order mock theta functions and their six identities. The six…
We study the parity of coefficients of classical mock theta functions. Suppose $g$ is a formal power series with integer coefficients, and let $c(g;n)$ be the coefficient of $q^n$ in its series expansion. We say that $g$ is of parity type…
We discover new analytic properties of classical partial and false theta functions and their potential applications to representation theory of W-algebras and vertex algebras in general. More precisely, motivated by clues from conformal…
We use a specialization of Ramanujan's ${}_1\psi_1$ summation to give a new proof of a recent formula of Hickerson and Mortenson which expands a special family of Hecke-type double sums in terms of Appell-Lerch sums and theta functions.
We investigate Dirichlet-type series generated by representation functions that count the number of ways an integer can be expressed as a sum of 'k' signed higher even powers. By combining generalized theta generating functions with a…
We give a characterization of modified (in the sense of Zwegers) mock theta functions, parallel to that of ordinary theta functions. Namely, modified mock theta functions are characterized by their analyticity properties, elliptic…
Product identities in two variables $x, q$ expand infinite products as infinite sums, which are linear combinations of theta functions; famous examples include Jacobi's triple product identity, Watson's quintuple identity, and Hirschhorn's…
Ramanujan's last letter to Hardy introduced the world to mock theta functions, and the mock theta function identities found in Ramanujan's lost notebook added to their intriguing nature. For example, we find the four tenth-order mock theta…
In recent work where Matsusaka generalizes the relationship between Habiro-type series and false theta functions after Hikami, five families of Hecke-type double-sums of the form \begin{equation*} \left( \sum_{r,s\ge 0…
On page 3 of his lost notebook, Ramanujan defines the Appell-Lerch sum $$\phi(q):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{(-q;q)_{2n}q^{n+1}}{(q;q^2)_{n+1}^2},$$ which is connected to some of his sixth order mock theta functions. Let $\sum_{n=1}^\infty…
We construct symmetric square type $L$-series for vector-valued modular forms transforming under the Weil representation associated to a discriminant form. We study Hecke operators and integral representations to investigate their…
Ramanujan studied the analytic properties of many $q$-hypergeometric series. Of those, mock theta functions have been particularly intriguing, and by work of Zwegers, we now know how these curious $q$-series fit into the theory of…
Let $f(q)$ denote Ramanujan's mock theta function \[f(q) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a(n) q^{n} := 1+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{q^{n^{2}}}{(1+q)^{2}(1+q^{2})^{2}\cdots(1+q^{n})^{2}}.\] It is known that there are many linear congruences for the…
Recently, Bringmann and Kane established two new Bailey pairs and used them to relate certain q-hypergeometric series to real quadratic fields. We show how these pairs give rise to new mock theta functions in the form of q-hypergeometric…
