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,…

Ramanujan's last letter to Hardy explored the asymptotic properties of modular forms, as well as those of certain interesting $q$-series which he called \emph{mock theta functions}. For his mock theta function $f(q)$, he claimed that as $q$…

We state and prove a number of unilateral and bilateral $q$-series identities and explore some of their consequences. Those include certain generalizations of the $q$-binomial sum which also generalize the $q$-Airy function introduced by…

Sander Zwegers showed that Ramanujan's mock theta functions are $q$-hypergeometric series, whose $q$-expansion coefficients are half of the Fourier coefficients of a non-holomorphic modular form. George Andrews, Henri Cohen, Freeman Dyson,…

Modular forms appear in many facets of mathematics, and have played important roles in geometry, mathematical physics, number theory, representation theory, topology, and other areas. Around 1994, motivated by technical issues in homotopy…

We study the modular resolution method using new tools called polynumbers and polyseries, introduced by Prof. Wildberger N.J. We try to prove an equivalence theorem of the existence and the uniqueness of the solutions of the modular…

We study families of partitions with gap conditions that were introduced by Schur and Andrews, and describe their fundamental connections to combinatorial q-series and automorphic forms. In particular, we show that the generating functions…

After introducing q-analogues of the Borel and Laplace transformations, we prove that to every formal power series solution of a linear q-difference equation with rational coefficients, we may apply several q-Borel and Laplace…

In the first part of the paper we give a definition of G_q-function and we establish a regularity result, obtained as a combination of a q-analogue of the Andre'-Chudnovsky Theorem [And89, VI] and Katz Theorem [Kat70, \S 13]. In the second…

Since their definition in 2010 by Zagier, quantum modular forms have been connected to numerous different topics such as strongly unimodal sequences, ranks, cranks, and asymptotics for mock theta functions near roots of unity. These are…

We prove several infinite families of $q$-series identities for false theta functions and related series. These identities are motivated by considerations of characters of modules of vertex operator superalgebras and of quantum…

In terms of the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin [Adv. Math. 346 (2019), 329--358], we find a $q$-supercongruence with four parameters modulo $\Phi_n(q)(1-aq^n)(a-q^n)$, where $\Phi_n(q)$ denotes the…
