We discuss several topics related to polylogarithms with focus on dilogarithms. The topics are: a generating function with harmonic numbers coming from Ramanujan, extending the dilogarithm to complex numbers beyond the unit disk, and…
We introduce new analogues of the Ramanujan sums, denoted by $\widetilde{c}_q(n)$, associated with unitary divisors, and obtain results concerning the expansions of arithmetic functions of several variables with respect to the sums…
Inspired by a famous formula of Ramanujan for odd zeta values, we prove an analogous formula involving the Hurwitz zeta function. We introduce a new integral kernel related to the Hurwitz zeta function, generalizing the integral kernel…
We prove an identity for Hall--Littlewood symmetric functions labelled by the Lie algebra A_2. Through specialization this yields a simple proof of the A_2 Rogers--Ramanujan identities of Andrews, Schilling and the author.
We generalize Ramanujan's expansions of the fractional-power Euler functions (q^{1/5})_{\infty} = [ J_1 - q^{1/5} + q^{2/5} J_2 ](q^5)_{\infty} and (q^{1/7})_{\infty} = [ J_1 + q^{1/7} J_2 - q^{2/7} + q^{5/7} J_3 ] (q^7)_{\infty} to…
Partitions associated with mock theta functions have received a great deal of attention in the literature. Recently, Choi and Kim derived several partition identities from the third and sixth order mock theta functions. In addition, three…
We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then…
In this paper we derive some identities and inequalities on the M\"obius mu function. Our main tool is phi functions for intervals of positive integers and their unions.
A decomposition of identity is given as a complex integral over the coherent states associated with a class of shape-invariant self-similar potentials. There is a remarkable connection between these coherent states and Ramanujan's integral…
For any non-negative integer $n$ and non-zero integer $r$, let $p_r(n)$ denote Ramanujan's general partition function. By employing $q$-identities, we prove some new Ramanujan-type congruences modulo 5 for $p_r(n)$ for $r=-(5\lambda+1),…
We find involutions for three Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon type identities obtained by Andrews on the generating functions for partitions with part difference and parity restrictions.
We consider two sequences $a(n)$ and $b(n)$, $1\leq n<\infty$, generated by Dirichlet series $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{a(n)}{\lambda_n^{s}}\qquad\text{and}\qquad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{b(n)}{\mu_n^{s}},$$ satisfying a familiar functional…
The Rogers-Ramanujan identities and various analogous identities (Gordon, Andrews-Bressoud, Capparelli, etc.) form a family of very deep identities concerned with integer partitions. These identities (written in generating function form)…
We study the spectra of cyclic signatures of finite graphs and the corresponding cyclic lifts. Starting from a bipartite Ramanujan graph, we prove the existence of an infinite tower of $3$-cyclic lifts, each of which is again Ramanujan.
In this self-contained short note, we prove that {\it every arithmetic function} $F$ {\it has infinitely many Ramanujan coefficients} $G$ {\it giving an absolutely convergent Ramanujan expansion for $F$}. This is "coefficients'…
We present a generalization of the construction of graphs by Lubotzky, Phillips and Sarnak in their celebrated article "Ramanujan graphs". The new approach consists in using octonion algebras rather than quaternions. A key tool is the…
The Euler product for the Landau--Ramanujan constant could have motivated a curious identity by Ramanujan that appears in his notebooks two times. This observation involves a square root and the first four prime numbers of the form $4n+3$,…
The polynomial Ramanujan sum was first introduced by Carlitz [7], and a generalized version by Cohen [10]. In this paper, we study the arithmetical and analytic properties of these sums, derive various fundamental identities, such as H…
Many classical $q$-series identities, such as the Rogers--Ramanujan identities, yield combinatorial interpretations in terms of integer partitions. Here we consider algebraically manipulating some of the classical $q$-series to yield…
Ramanujan's Master Theorem is a decades-old theorem in the theory of Mellin transforms which has wide applications in both mathematics and high energy physics. The unconventional method of Ramanujan in his proof of the theorem left…
