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…

We give a functional equation for the refined Herglotz-Zagier function. It is analogous to a result in the theory of modular forms.

Generating functions $h_r(\tau)$ of D4-D2-D0 BPS indices, appearing in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type IIA string theory and identical to rank 0 Donaldson-Thomas invariants, are known to be higher depth mock modular forms satisfying a…

We show the existence of "Zagier duality" between vector valued harmonic weak Maass forms and vector valued weakly holomorphic modular forms of integral weight. This duality phenomenon arises naturally in the context of harmonic weak Maass…

We state and verify up to weight 172 a conjecture on the existence of a certain generating set for spaces of classical Siegel modular forms. This conjecture is particularly useful for calculations involving Fourier expansions. Using this…

We survey divisibility properties of the Fourier coefficients of modular functions inspired by Ramanujan. Then using recent results of the generalized Hecke operator on harmonic Maass functions and known divisibility of Fourier coefficients…

Andrews recently introduced k-marked Durfee symbols, which are a generalization of partitions that are connected to moments of Dyson's rank statistic. He used these connections to find identities relating their generating functions as well…

Fix a prime N, and consider the action of the Hecke operator T_N on the space M_k(SL(2,Z)) of modular forms of full level and varying weight k. The coefficients of the matrix of T_N with respect to the basis {E_4^i E_6^j | 4i + 6j = k} for…

For a regular $2n$-gon there are $(2n-1)!!$ ways to match and glue the $2n$ sides. The Harer-Zagier bivariate generating function enumerates the gluings by $n$ and the genus $g$ of the attendant surface and leads to a recurrence equation…

We study canonical bases for spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms of level 4 and weights in $\mathbb{Z}+\frac{1}{2}$ and show that almost all modular forms in these bases have the property that many of their zeros in a fundamental…

Suppose that $\ell \geq 5$ is prime. For a positive integer $N$ with $4 \mid N$, previous works studied properties of half-integral weight modular forms on $\Gamma_0(N)$ which are supported on finitely many square classes modulo $\ell$, in…

We give a short proof of Zagier's conjecture / Mersmann's theorem which states that each holomorphic eta quotient of weight 1/2 is an integral rescaling of some eta quotient from Zagier's list of fourteen primitive holomorphic eta…

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…

Using the WZ method we present simpler proofs of Koecher's, Leshchiner's and Bailey-Borwein-Bradley's identities for generating functions of the sequences $\{\zeta(2n+2)\}_{n\ge 0}, \{\zeta(2n+3)\}_{n\ge 0}.$ By the same method we give…

We extend the recently developed theory of Roehrig and Zwegers on indefinite theta functions to prove certain power series are modular forms. As a consequence, we obtain several power series identities for powers of the generating function…

If $f(z)$ is a modular form of weight $k$, then the differential operator $\vartheta_k$ defined by $\vartheta_k(f) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \frac{d}{dz}f(z) - \frac{k}{12} E_2(z) f(z)$ (known as the Ramanujan-Serre derivative map) is a modular…

We will investigate the relationship between Ihara's zeta functions of Ramanujan graphs and Hasse-Weil's congruent zeta functions of modular curves. As an application we will describe the limit value of Hasse-Weil's congruent zeta functions…

We twist Zagier's function $f_{k,D}$ by a sign function and a genus character. Assuming weight $0 < k \equiv 2 \pmod{4}$, and letting $D$ be a positive non-square discriminant, we prove that the obstruction to modularity caused by the sign…

We show that the generating function $\sum_{n\ge0}M_n\,z^n$ for Motzkin numbers $M_n$, when coefficients are reduced modulo a given power of $2$, can be expressed as a polynomial in the basic series $\sum _{e\ge0} ^{} {z^{4^e}}/(…

We prove that the coefficients of certain mock theta functions possess no linear congruences modulo 3. We prove similar results for the moduli 2 and 3 for a wide class of weakly holomorphic modular forms and discuss applications. This…
