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 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…

We obtain two-variable Hecke-Rogers identities for three universal mock theta functions. This implies that many of Ramanujan's mock theta functions, including all the third order functions, have a Hecke-Rogers-type double sum…

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…

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 express recent double-sums studied by Wang, Yee, and Liu in terms of two types of Hecke-type double-sum building blocks. When possible we determine the (mock) modularity. We also express a recent $q$-hypergeometric function of Andrews as…

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".

We prove certain Nahm-type sum representations for the (odd modulus) Andrews-Gordon identities, the (even modulus) Andrews-Bressoud identities, and Rogers' false theta functions. These identities are motivated on one hand by a recent work…

Using a heuristic that relates Appell--Lerch functions to divergent partial theta functions one can expand Hecke-type double-sums in terms of Appell--Lerch functions. We give examples where the heuristic can be used as a guide to evaluate…

In this paper, by applying a range of classic summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, we obtain a three-term identity for partial theta functions. It extends the Andrews-Warnaar partial theta function…

We give simple proofs of Hecke-Rogers indefinite binary theta series identities for the two Ramanujan fifth order mock theta functions $\chi_0(q)$ and $\chi_1(q)$ and all three of Ramanujan's seventh order mock theta functions. We find that…

Motivated by the works of Liu, we provide a unified approach to find Appell-Lerch series and Hecke-type series representations for mock theta functions. We establish a number of parameterized identities with two parameters $a$ and $b$.…

Recently, Wang and Ma propose a conjecture associated with the possible generalization of Andrews-Warnaar identities. It is confirmed in this paper. As the applications of this conjecture, we prove that a family of series can be expressed…

We consider two-parameter generalizations of Hecke-Appell type expansions for the generating functions of unimodal and special unimodal sequences. We then determine their explicit representations which involve mixed false theta functions.…

The bilateral series corresponding to many of the third-, fifth-, sixth- and eighth order mock theta functions may be derived as special cases of $_2\psi_2$ series \[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{(a,c;q)_n}{(b,d;q)_n}z^n. \] Three…
