We show that several terminating summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series can be proved in a straightforward way. Along the same line, new finite forms of Jacobi's triple product identity and Watson's quintuple…
We study multivariable (bilateral) basic hypergeometric series associated with (type $A$) Macdonald polynomials. We derive several transformation and summation properties for such series including analogues of Heine's ${}_2\phi_1$…
In this work we investigate Plancherel-Rotach type asymptotics for some $q$-series as $q\to1$. These $q$-series generalize Ramanujan function $A_{q}(z)$ ($q$-Airy function), Jackson's $q$-Bessel function $J_{\nu}^{(2)}$(z;q), Ismail-Masson…
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 $q$…
A new class of integrals involving the confluent hypergeometric function ${}_1F_{1}(a;c;z)$ and the Riemann $\Xi$-function is considered. It generalizes a class containing some integrals of S. Ramanujan, G.H. Hardy and W.L. Ferrar and gives…
These lecture notes were written for a mini-course that was designed to introduce students and researchers to {\it $q$-series,} which are also called {\it basic hypergeometric series} because of the parameter $q$ that is used as a base in…
Using Krattenthaler's operator method, we give a new proof of Warnaar's recent elliptic extension of Krattenthaler's matrix inversion. Further, using a theta function identity closely related to Warnaar's inversion, we derive summation and…
We use elliptic Taylor series expansions and interpolation to deduce a number of summations for elliptic hypergeometric series. We extend to the well-poised elliptic case results that in the $q$-case have previously been obtained by Cooper…
Properties of four quintic theta functions are developed in parallel with those of the classical Jacobi null theta functions. The quintic theta functions are shown to satisfy analogues of Jacobi's quartic theta function identity and…
We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then…
The modular transformations of Ramanujan's tenth order mock theta functions are computed, beginning from Choi's Hecke-type identites and using Zwegers' results on indefinite theta series. Explicit completions and shadows are found as an…
We formulate general principles of building hypergeometric type series from the Jacobi theta functions that generalize the plain and basic hypergeometric series. Single and multivariable elliptic hypergeometric series are considered in…
Using results from Ramanujan's lost notebook, Zudilin recently gave an insightful proof of a radial limit result of Folsom, Ono, and Rhoades for mock theta functions. Here we see that the author's previous work on the dual nature of…
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…
This paper develops a generalized cotangent-type series, extending classical expansions to higher-order lattice sums. By introducing a new family of series indexed by integer powers, we derive closed form representations that combine…
Ramanujan introduced mock theta functions in his last letter to G.H.Hardy. He provided examples and various relations between them. G.N.Watson found transformations for the third order mock theta functions $f(q)$ and $\omega$(q). Zwegers in…
We derive several new transformations relating WP-Bailey pairs. We also consider the corresponding transformations relating standard Bailey pairs, and as a consequence, derive some quite general expansions for products of theta functions…
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…
By applying Slater's transformation formulas for the bilateral basic hypergeometric series ${}_2\psi_{2}$, we derive three type translation formulas for the generalized Zwegers' $\mu$-function (``continuous $q$-Hermite function'') which was…
We prove a summation formula for a bilateral series whose terms are products of two basic hypergeometric functions. In special cases, series of this type arise as matrix elements of quantum group representations.
