By developing a connection between partial theta functions and Appell-Lerch sums, we find and prove a formula which expresses Hecke-type double sums in terms of Appell-Lerch sums and theta functions. Not only does our formula prove…

We prove an infinite family of linear identities for the number $A_5(n)$ of partition pairs of $n$ with $5$-cores by using certain theta function identities involving the Ramanujan's parameter $k(q)$ due to Cooper, and Lee and Park.…

In his lost notebook, Ramanujan listed 5 identities related to the false theta function $$f(q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^nq^{n(n+1)/2}.$$ A new combinatorial interpretation and proof of one of these identities is given. The methods of the…

We investigate reciprocals of false theta functions, producing results such as congruences, simple asymptotic bounds, and combinatorial identities. Of particular interest is a connection between $1/\Psi(-q^2,q)$ and the truncated pentagonal…

The arithmetic properties of the second order mock theta function $\mathcal{B}(q)$, introduced by McIntosh, defined by \begin{equation*} \mathcal{B}(q) := \sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{q^n (-q;q^2)_n}{(q;q^2)_{n+1}} = \sum_{n \geq 0}b(n)q^n,…

In 2012 Bryson, Ono, Pitman and Rhoades showed how the generating functions for certain strongly unimodal sequences are related to quantum modular and mock modular forms. They proved some parity results and conjectured some mod 4…

We present completions of mock theta functions to harmonic weak Maass forms of weight $1/2$ and algebraic formulas for the coefficients of mock theta functions. We give several harmonic weak Maass forms of weight $1/2$ that have mock theta…

In recent work, Hickerson and the author demonstrated that it is useful to think of Appell--Lerch sums as partial theta functions. This notion can be used to relate identities involving partial theta functions with identities involving…

We derived $q$-continued fractions $X_i(q)$ of order thirty-four and continued fractions $Y_i(q)$ of order sixty-eight from a general continued fraction identity of Ramanujan, where $i=1,2,3,4,5,6,7$ and $8$. We established some…

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".
