In an important paper, Zagier proved that certain half-integral weight modular forms are generating functions for traces of polynomials in the $j$-function. It turns out that Zagier's work makes it possible to algorithmically compute…

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…

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…

In 1975, Zagier introduced the highly influential hyperbolic Poincar\'e series $f_{k,D}$. We connect the divisor modular form of $f_{k,D}$ to a new weak Maass form $\omega_{k+1,D}$. Furthermore, we show that the generating function of…

We prove a formula for weighted sums of the first $n$ coefficients of mock modular forms of moderate growth and apply it to Hurwitz class numbers and coefficients of negative half integral weight Eisenstein series, which take the form of…

New congruences are found for Andrews' smallest parts partition function spt(n). The generating function for spt(n) is related to the holomorphic part alpha(24z) of a certain weak Maass form M(z) of weight 3/2. We show that a normalized…

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

In the theory of harmonic Maass forms and mock modular forms, mock theta functions are distinguished examples which arose from $q$-hypergeometric examples of Ramanujan. Recently, there has been a body of work on higher depth mock modular…

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,…

While investigating the Doi-Naganuma lift, Zagier defined integral weight cusp forms $f_D$ which are naturally defined in terms of binary quadratic forms of discriminant $D$. It was later determined by Kohnen and Zagier that the generating…

Traces of singular moduli were introduced and studied by Zagier in 1998. Being simultaneously the (traces of) values of a modular function ($j$-invariant) and Fourier coefficients of modular forms - which constitutes Zagier's duality -…
