We survey divisibility properties of the Fourier coefficients of modular functions inspired by Ramanujan. Then using recent results of the generalized Hecke operator on harmonic Maass functions and known divisibility of Fourier coefficients…
Recently Lachterman, Schayer, and Younger published an elegant proof of the Ramanujan congruences for the partition function $p(n)$. Their proof uses only the classical theory of modular forms as well as a beautiful result of Choie, Kohnen,…
Elementary symmetric polynomials $S_n^k$ are used as a benchmark for the bounded-depth arithmetic circuit model of computation. In this work we prove that $S_n^k$ modulo composite numbers $m=p_1p_2$ can be computed with much fewer…
We use properties of modular forms to prove the following extension of the Ramanujan-Mordell formula, \begin{align*} z^{k-j}z_p^{j}=&\frac{p_{\chi}^{k-j}-1}{p_{\chi}^{k}-1}F_p(k,j;\tau)+…
To every $k$-dimensional modular invariant vector space we associate a modular form on $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $2k$. We explore number theoretic properties of this form and find a sufficient condition for its vanishing which yields…
In this note, it is shown that the Ramanujan Master Theorem (RMT) when n is a positive integer can be obtained, as a special case, from a new integral formula. Furthermore, we give a simple proof of the RMT when n is not an integer.
Consider the linear congruence equation $${a_1^{s}x_1+\ldots+a_k^{s} x_k \equiv b\,(\text{mod } n^s)}\text { where } a_i,b\in\mathbb{Z},s\in\mathbb{N}$$ Denote by $(a,b)_s$ the largest $l^s\in\mathbb{N}$ which divides $a$ and $b$…
An identity by Ramanujan is expressed using polar coordinates, so that its proof reduces to the verification of an elementary trigonometric identity. This approach produces a few variations on Ramanujan's original identity.
Given a simplicial complex with weights on its simplices, and a nontrivial cycle on it, we are interested in finding the cycle with minimal weight which is homologous to the given one. Assuming that the homology is defined with integer…
Using Ramanujan's Master Theorem, two formulas are derived which define the Hankel transforms of order zero with even functions by inverse Mellin transforms, provided these functions and their derivatives obey special conditions. Their…
We consider the notion of a connection on a module over a commutative ring, and recall the obstruction calculus for such connections. The obstruction calculus is defined using Hochschild cohomology. However, in order to compute with Grobner…
This paper aims to show that by making use of Ramanujan's Master Theorem and the properties of the lower incomplete gamma function, it is possible to construct a finite Mellin transform for the function $f(x)$ that has infinite series…
Ramanujan listed several q-series identities in his lost notebook. The most well known q-series identities are the Rogers-Ramanujan type identities which are first discovered by Rogers and then rediscovered by Ramanujan. In this paper, we…
Ramanujan famously found congruences for the partition function like p(5n+4) = 0 modulo 5. We provide a method to find all simple congruences of this type in the coefficients of the inverse of a modular form on Gamma_{1}(4) which is…
We provide the missing member of a family of four $q$-series identities related to the modulus 36, the other members having been found by Ramanujan and Slater. We examine combinatorial implications of the identities in this family, and of…
We prove a remarkable formula of Ramanujan for the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function, which converges more rapidly than classical expansions, and which is stated without proof in Ramanujan's notebooks. The formula has a number of…
Given a singular modulus $j_0$ and a set of rational primes $S$, we study the problem of effectively determining the set of singular moduli $j$ such that $j-j_0$ is an $S$-unit. For every $j_0 \neq 0$, we provide an effective way of finding…
A simple integration by parts and telescopic cancellation leads to a rigorous derivation of the first 2 terms for the error in Ramanujan's asymptotic series for the nth partial sum of the harmonic series. Then Kummer's transformation gives…
We show that a Born-Infeld soliton can be realised either as a spacelike minimal graph or timelike minimal graph over a timelike plane or a combination of both away from singular points. We also obtain some exact solutions of the…
The celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan identities equate the number of integer partitions of $n$ ($n\in\mathbb N_0$) with parts congruent to $\pm 1 \pmod{5}$ (respectively $\pm 2 \pmod{5}$) and the number of partitions of $n$ with super-distinct…
