We present some open problems and describe briefly some possible research directions in the emerging theory of Hardy spaces of Dirichlet series and their intimate counterparts, Hardy spaces on the infinite-dimensional torus. Links to number…
Motivated by two identities published with Ramanujan's lost notebook and connected, respectively, with the Gauss circle problem and the Dirichlet divisor problem, in an earlier paper, three of the present authors derived representations for…
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a survey of properties, values, identities, and generalizations of the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction, which is closely related to the Rogers--Ramanujan identities. Many of these results…
Eisenstein series play an important role in the theory of modular forms and have profound connections with $q$-series identities, partition theory, and special functions. Likewise, Ramanujan's mock theta functions, originally introduced in…
A series of formula is presented that are all inspired by the Ramanujan Notebooks [6]. One of them appears in the notebooks II about Zeta(3). That formula inspired others that appeared in 1998, 2006 and 2009 on the author's website and…
Symmetry analysis of Ramanujan's system of differential equations is performed by representing it as a third-order equation. A new system consisting of a second-order and a first-order equation is derived from Ramanujan's system. The Lie…
By applying the derivative operator to the known identities from hypergeometric series or WZ pairs, we obtain seven series associated with harmonic numbers. Specifically, six of them are Ramanujan-like formulas for $1/\pi$ and the remaining…
This paper focus on the symmetry and symmetry breaking about the second order Hydrogen Uncertainty Principle. \emph{Firstly}, by choosing a suitable test function, we give a negative answer to the conjecture presented by Cazacu, Flynn and…
We study the $q$-series $F(q) = \sum q^{m(m+1)/2}/(q)_m^2$ and offer some commentary on why Ramanujan may have thought $F(q)$ does not "close."
Using the theory of Calabi-Yau differential equations we obtain all the parameters of Ramanujan-Sato-like series for $1/\pi^2$ as $q$-functions valid in the complex plane. Then we use these q-functions together with a conjecture to find new…
A new sums-of-tails identity involving two parameters $b$ and $d$ is obtained and is used to derive more results of similar type. One of Ramanujan's sums-of-tails identities from the Lost Notebook is shown to be a special case of our…
This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of infinite series involving hyperbolic functions. By using the approach, we give explicit formulas for several classes of series of hyperbolic functions in terms of Riemann zeta values.…
We study certain double--series inequalities, which are motivated by weighted Hardy inequalities.
The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…
This note gives a few rapidly convergent series representations of the sums of divisors functions. These series have various applications such as exact evaluations of some power series, computing estimates and proving the existence results…
We derive two new analogues of a transformation formula of Ramanujan involving the Gamma and Riemann zeta functions present in the Lost Notebook. Both involve infinite series consisting of Hurwitz zeta functions and yield modular relations.…
In this note, we study a certain class of trigonometric series which is important in many problems. An unproved statement in Zygmund's book [5] will be proved and generalized. Further discussions based on this problem will also be made…
The present paper presents some reflections of the author on divergent series and their role and place in mathematics over the centuries. The point of view presented here is limited to differential equations and dynamical systems.
We make a summary of the different types of proofs adding some new ideas. In addition we conjecture some relations which could be necessary in "modular type proofs" (not still found) of the Ramanujan-like series for 1/\pi^2.
In a handwritten manuscript published with his lost notebook, Ramanujan stated without proofs forty identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan functions. We observe that the functions that appear in Ramanujan's identities can be obtained from a…
