In this paper, we introduce $q$-analogues of the Barnes multiple zeta functions. We show that these functions can be extended meromorphically to the whole plane, and moreover, tend to the Barnes multiple zeta functions when $q\uparrow 1$…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $(q,z)\in \mathbb{C}^2$, $|q|<1$. We show that for any $0<\delta _0<\delta <1$, there exists $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $q$ with…

We show that some $q$-series such as universal mock theta functions are linear sums of theta quotients and mock Jacobi forms of weight 1/2, which become holomorphic parts of real analytic modular forms when they are restricted to torsion…

In this paper, we use two $q$-operators $\mathbb{T}(a,b,c,d,e,yD_x)$ and $\mathbb{E}(a,b,c,d,e,y\theta_x)$ to derive two potentially useful generalizations of the $q$-binomial theorem, a set of two extensions of the $q$-Chu-Vandermonde…
