Bachmann proves an identity expressing the generating series of MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors $q$-series in terms of Eisenstein series. MacMahon's $q$-series can be regarded as a $q$-analogue of the multiple zeta value $\zeta(2, 2,…

We consider the $t$-hook functions on partitions $f_{a,t}: \mathcal{P}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ defined by $$ f_{a,t}(\lambda):=t^{a-1} \sum_{h\in \mathcal{H}_t(\lambda)}\frac{1}{h^a}, $$ where $\mathcal{H}_t(\lambda)$ is the multiset of…

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…

Recently, Ono and the third author discovered that the reciprocals of the theta series $(q;q)_\infty^3$ and $(q^2;q^2)_\infty(q;q^2)_\infty^2$ have infinitely many closed formulas in terms of MacMahon's quasimodular forms $A_k(q)$ and…

The multiple zeta values (MZVs) have been studied extensively in recent years. Currently there exist a few different types of $q$-analogs of the MZVs ($q$-MZVs) defined and studied by mathematicians and physicists. In this paper, we give a…

Banks--Panzer--Pym have shown that the volume integrals appearing in Kontsevich's deformation quantization formula always evaluate to integer-linear combinations of multiple zeta values (MZVs). We prove a sort of converse, which they…

Let $(a;q)_n=\prod_{0\le k<n}(1-aq^k)$ for n=0,1,2,.... Define q-Euler numbers $E_n(q)$, q-Sali\'e numbers $S_n(q)$ and q-Carlitz numbers $C_n(q)$ as follows: $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}E_n(q)\frac{x^n}{(q,q)_n}…

Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…

We study an elliptic analogue of multiple zeta values, the elliptic multiple zeta values of Enriquez, which are the coefficients of the elliptic KZB associator. Originally defined by iterated integrals on a once-punctured complex elliptic…

By the theory of Eisenstein series, generating functions of various divisor functions arise as modular forms. It is natural to ask whether further divisor functions arise systematically in the theory of mock modular forms. We establish,…

Let $q=e^{2\pi i\tau}$, $\Im\tau>0$, $x=e^{2\pi i\xi}\in\CC$ and $(x;q)_\infty=\prod_{n\ge 0}(1-xq^n)$. Let $(q,x)\mapsto(q^*,\iota_q x)$ be the classical modular substitution given by $q^*=e^{-2\pi i/\tau}$ and $\iota_q x=e^{2\pi…

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…
