In his lost notebook, Ramanujan listed 5 identities related to the false theta function $$f(q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^nq^{n(n+1)/2}.$$ A new combinatorial interpretation and proof of one of these identities is given. The methods of the…

We present q-series proofs of four identities involving sixth order mock theta functions from Ramanujan's lost notebook. We also show how Ramanujan's identities can be used to give a quick proof of four sixth order identities of Berndt and…

Using a pair of two variable series-product identities recorded by Ramanujan in the lost notebook as inspiration, we find some new identities of similar type. Each identity immediately implies an infinite family of Rogers-Ramanujan type…

Ramanujan presented four identities for third order mock theta functions in his Lost Notebook. In 2005, with the aid of complex analysis, Yesilyurt first proved these four identities. Recently, Andrews et al. provided different proofs by…

Ramanujan's lost notebook contains many mock theta functions and mock theta function identities not mentioned in his last letter to Hardy. For example, we find the four tenth-order mock theta functions and their six identities. The six…

We prove a general alternate circular summation formula of theta functions, which implies a great deal of theta-function identities. In particular, we recover several identities in Ramanujan's Notebook from this identity. We also obtain two…

Ramanujan's last letter to Hardy introduced the world to mock theta functions, and the mock theta function identities found in Ramanujan's lost notebook added to their intriguing nature. For example, we find the four tenth-order mock theta…

A new sums-of-tails identity involving two parameters $b$ and $d$ is obtained and is used to derive more results of similar type. One of Ramanujan's sums-of-tails identities from the Lost Notebook is shown to be a special case of our…

Product identities in two variables $x, q$ expand infinite products as infinite sums, which are linear combinations of theta functions; famous examples include Jacobi's triple product identity, Watson's quintuple identity, and Hirschhorn's…

A new type of polynomial analogue of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities is proven. Here the product-side of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities is replaced by a partial theta sum and the sum-side by a weighted sum over Schur polynomials.
