We prove new properties of the zero set of Ramanujan's partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$, $q\in (-1,0)\cup (0,1)$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$. We show that for each $q\in (0,1)$, there exists a line Re$x=-a$,…

Towards the end of his life Ramanujan wrote a manuscript on properties of the partition and tau functions, some parts of which remained unpublished until very recently. Nevertheless, this manuscript gave rise to a lot of subsequent work. In…

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 $\vartheta_3(t,q)$…

In this paper, we derive a unified generalization of Ramanujan's transformation identities for the theta function $f(a,b)$, originally appearing in Ramanujan's Notebooks, Parts~III and IV. Using an approach based on residue-class…

Eigenvectors of the discrete Fourier transform can be expressed using Ramanujan theta functions. New theta function identities, Ramanujan theta function identities, and generating functions for the quadratic numbers are a consequence.

In this paper, we give some extensions for Ramanujan's circular summation formula with the mixed products of two Jacobi's theta functions. As some applications, we also obtain many interesting identities of Jacobi's theta functions.

In his "lost notebook'', Ramanujan used iterated derivatives of two theta functions to define sequences of $q$-series $\{U_{2t}(q)\}$ and $\{V_{2t}(q)\}$ that he claimed to be quasimodular. We give the first explicit proof of this claim by…

We prove some Lambert series which were stated by Gosper without proof or reference. As an application, we shall evaluate integrals involving Ramanujan theta function $\psi(q)$. Furthermore, motivated by Ramanujan's identities for…

We prove that the classical theta function $\theta_4$ may be expressed as $$ \theta_4(v,\tau) = \theta_4(0,\tau) \exp[- \sum_{p\geq 1} \sum_{k\geq 0} \frac {1}{p} \bigg(\frac {\sin \pi v}{(\sin (k+{1/2})\pi \tau)}\bigg)^{2p}].$$ We obtain…

The bivariate series $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ %(where $(q,x)\in {\bf C}^2$, $|q|<1$) defines a {\em partial theta function}. For fixed $q$ ($|q|<1$), $\theta (q,.)$ is an entire function. For $q\in (-1,0)$ the…

Sums of the form add((-1)^n q^(n(n-1)/2) x^n, n>=0) are called partial theta functions. In his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded many identities for those functions. In 2003, Warnaar found an elegant formula for a sum of two partial theta…
