An analogue of Taylor's formula, which arises by substituting the classical derivative by a divided difference operator of Askey-Wilson type, is developed here. We study the convergence of the associated Taylor series. Our results…
We introduce Macdonald characters and use algebraic properties of Macdonald polynomials to study them. As a result, we produce several formulas for Macdonald characters, which are generalizations of those obtained by Gorin and Panova in…
In this paper we add to the literature on the combinatorial nature of the mock theta functions, a collection of curious $q$-hypergeometric series introduced by Ramanujan in his last letter to Hardy in 1920, which we now know to be important…
In this paper, we prove several transformation formulas for the very-well-poised bilateral basic hypergeometric $_5\psi_5$ series by using the relationship between the bilateral basic hypergeometric $_5\psi_5$ series and basic…
Two $q$-supercongruences of truncated basic hypergeometric series containing two free parameters are established by employing specific identities for basic hypergeometric series. The results partly extend two $q$-supercongruences that were…
In his "lost notebook'', Ramanujan used iterated derivatives of two theta functions to define sequences of $q$-series $\{U_{2t}(q)\}$ and $\{V_{2t}(q)\}$ that he claimed to be quasimodular. We give the first explicit proof of this claim by…
This article describes results of joint work with Michael Rapoport and Tonghai Yang. First, we construct an modular form \phi(\tau) of weight 3/2 valued in the arithmetic Chow group of the arithmetic surface M attached toa Shimura curve…
We revisit, with a pedagogical heuristic motivation, the lambda extension of the low-temperature row correlation functions C(M,N) of the two-dimensional Ising model. In particular, using these one-parameter series to understand the…
In this paper we consider a transformation $L_a$ of sequences of complex numbers. We find the inverse transformation of $L_a$ as well as the inverse of a related transformation $\tilde{L}_a$. We explore a connection to the binomial…
We investigate the integral representations of solutions to the variant of $q$-hypergeometric equation of degree 2 obtained through $q$-middle convolution by using transformation formulas for $q$-hypergeometric series. We show the…
We construct the new q-extension of Bernoulli numbers and polynomials in this paper. Finally we consider the q-zeta functions which interpolate the new q-extension of Bernoulli numbers and polynomials.
Abelian Chern-Simons theory relates classical theta functions to the topological quantum field theory of the linking number of knots. In this paper we explain how to derive the constructs of abelian Chern-Simons theory directly from the…
Ramanujan's original definition of mock theta functions from 1920 involves their asymptotic behaviors at roots of unity on the boundary of the disk of convergence $|q|<1$. More recently this topic has been related by several authors,…
In the theory of the Nil-DAHA Fourier transform, the inner products of q-Hermite polynomials for the measure function multiplied by a level one theta function are the key. They are used to obtain expansions of products of any number of such…
We give an analogy of Jacobi's formula, which relates the hypergeometric function with parameters $(1/4,1/4,1)$ and theta constants. By using this analogy and twice formulas of theta constants, we obtain a transformation formula for this…
Let $R(q)$ be the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. We give different proofs of two complementary relations for $R(q)$ given by Ramanujan and proved by Watson and Ramanathan. Our proofs only use product expansions for classical Jacobi…
We use a new $q$-exponential operator based on the $q^{\pm1}$-derivative $\D_{q^{\pm1}}$ of order 1 to derive summation formulas for bilateral basic hypergeometric series ${}_{0}\psi_{1}$, ${}_{1}\psi_{1}$, ${}_{1}\psi_{2}$, and…
In this paper, we focus on calculating a specific class of Berndt integrals, which exclusively involves (hyperbolic) cosine functions. Initially, this integral is transformed into a Ramanujan-type hyperbolic (infinite) sum via contour…
We establish a determinant formula for the bilinear form associated with the elliptic hypergeometric integrals of type $BC_n$ by studying the structure of $q$-difference equations to be satisfied by them. The determinant formula is proved…
We consider a generalized Mathieu series where the summands of the classical Mathieu series are multiplied by powers of a complex number. The Mellin transform of this series can be expressed by the polylogarithm or the Hurwitz zeta…
