Properties of theta functions and Eisenstein series dating to Jacobi and Ramanujan are used to deduce differential equations associated with McKay Thompson series of level 20. These equations induce expansions for modular forms of level 20…

In this paper I introduce a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis, and then using that I prove $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \mu(k)/k^s$ converges for $\Re(s) > \frac{1}{2}$. I use a step function $\nu(x) = 2\{x/2\} - \{x\}$ for the Dirichlet eta…

In $1735$ Euler \cite{1} proved that for each positive integer $k$, the series $\zeta(2k) = \sum_{\ell=1}^{\infty} \ell^{-2k}$ converges to a rational multiple of $\pi^{2k}$. Many demonstrations of this fact are now known, and Euler's…

We study the series $\psi_s(z):=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \sec(n\pi z)n^{-s}$, and prove that it converges under mild restrictions on $z$ and $s$. The function possesses a modular transformation property, which allows us to evaluate $\psi_{s}(z)$…
