Inequalities are important features in the context of sequences of numbers and polynomials. The Bessenrodt--Ono inequality for partition numbers and Nekrasov--Okounkov polynomials has only recently been discovered. In this paper we study…

In recent years, the log-concavity of $\{\sqrt[n]{S_n}\}_{n\geq 1}$ have been received a lot of attention. Very recently, Sun posed the following conjecture in his new book: the sequences $\{\sqrt[n]{a_n}\}_{n\geq 2}$ and $\{…

In this paper we study odd unimodal and odd strongly unimodal sequences. We use $q$-series methods to find several fundamental generating functions. Employing the Euler--Maclaurin summation formula we obtain the asymptotic main term for…

This paper provides some statistics for the coefficients of Russell- Type modular equations for the modular function, {\lambda}({\tau}). The results hold uniformly for all odd primes. They do not rely on any numerical evaluations of…

Many sequences of binomial coefficients share various unimodality properties. In this paper we consider the unimodality problem of a sequence of binomial coefficients located in a ray or a transversal of the Pascal triangle. Our results…

In this paper, we calculate an exact formula for the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, where the largest part is even and no odd parts appears more than two times. The generating functions of the number of these partitions is a…

The purpose of this article is to give a simple and explicit construction of mock modular forms whose shadows are Eisenstein series of arbitrary integral weight, level, and character. As application, we construct forms whose shadows are…

We prove various congruences for Catalan and Motzkin numbers as well as related sequences. The common thread is that all these sequences can be expressed in terms of binomial coefficients. Our techniques are combinatorial and algebraic:…

Using holomorphic projection, we work out a parametrization for all relations of products (resp. Rankin-Cohen brackets) of weight $\tfrac 32$ mock modular forms with holomorphic shadow and weight $\tfrac 12$ modular forms in the spirit of…

A strongly reflective modular form with respect to an orthogonal group of signature (2,n) determines a Lorentzian Kac--Moody algebra. We find a new geometric application of such modular forms: we prove that if the weight is larger than n…

Moduli spaces of stable coherent sheaves on a surface are of much interest for both mathematics and physics. Yoshioka computed generating functions of Poincare polynomials of such moduli spaces if the surface is the projective plane P2 and…

In this paper, we investigate two properties concerning the unimodality of the $\delta$-vectors of lattice polytopes, which are log-concavity and alternatingly increasingness. For lattice polytopes $\mathcal{P}$ of dimension $d$, we prove…

Recently, Bruinier and Ono proved that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms are given as "traces" of singular moduli for harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms. Here, we prove that similar results hold for the…

The mock theta conjectures are ten identities involving Ramanujan's fifth-order mock theta functions. The conjectures were proven by Hickerson in 1988 using q-series methods. Using methods from the theory of harmonic Maass forms,…

Zagier's well-known work on traces of singular moduli relates the coefficients of certain weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $1/2$ to traces of values of the modular $j$-function at imaginary quadratic points. A real quadratic…

In this preprint we prove that any finite slope modular form fits into a p-adic family of modular forms which is indexed by the weight. Here, the term p-adic family means that p-adic congruences between weights entail certain p-adic…

We introduce the three-Catalan triangle, highlighting the three-Catalan numbers along with their recurrence relation and combinatorial interpretation, which allows us to establish their log-convexity. Additionally, we prove that the rows of…

Let T be a topology on the finite set Xn. We consider the open polynomial associated with the topology T. Its coefficients are the cardinality of open sets of size j=0,...,n. J. Brown [4] asked when this polynomial has only real zeros. We…

Zagier observed that modular Nahm sums associated with the same matrix may form a vector-valued modular function on some congruence subgroup. We establish modular transformation formulas for several families of Nahm sums by viewing them as…

In this Ph.D dissertation (University of Virginia, 2022), we prove results about the coefficients of partition-theoretic generating functions and of coefficients of integer weight modular forms. Using various forms of the circle method, we…
