We give a characterization of modified (in the sense of Zwegers) mock theta functions, parallel to that of ordinary theta functions. Namely, modified mock theta functions are characterized by their analyticity properties, elliptic…

We obtain four Hecke-type double sums for three of Ramanujan's third order mock theta functions. We discuss how these four are related to the new mock theta functions of Andrews' work on $q$-orthogonal polynomials and Bringmann, Hikami, and…

The modular forms are revisited from a geometric and an algebraic point of view leading to a geometric interpretation of the weak Maass forms connecting them to the Ramanujan Mock Theta functions and to the cusp forms generated from the…

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…

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…

The classical transformation of Jacobi's theta function admits a simple proof by producing an integral representation that yields this invariance apparent. This idea seems to have first appeared in the work of S. Ramanujan. Several examples…

We find two involutions on partitions that lead to partition identities for Ramanujan's third order mock theta functions $\phi(-q)$ and $\psi(-q)$. We also give an involution for Fine's partition identity on the mock theta function f(q).…

False theta functions are functions that are closely related to classical theta functions and mock theta functions. In this paper, we study their modular properties at all ranks by forming modular completions analogous to 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,…

We derive a holomorphic anomaly equation for the Vafa-Witten partition function for twisted four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} =4$ super Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{CP}^{2}$ for the gauge group $SO(3)$ from the path integral of the effective…

In this article we study properties of Ramanujan's mock theta functions that can be expressed in Lerch sums. We mainly show that each Lerch sum is actually the integral of a Jacobian theta function (here we show that for $\vartheta_3(t,q)$…
