This paper establishes new results concerning asymptotic expansions of $q$-series related to partial theta functions. We first establish a new method to obtain asymptotic expansions using a result of Ono and Lovejoy, and then build on these…

Quite recently, the first author investigated vanishing coefficients of the arithmetic progressions in several $q$-series expansions. In this paper, we further study the signs of coefficients in two $q$-series expansions and establish some…

We establish new transformation formulas involving theta functions and certain bilateral basic hypergeometric series. From these formulas, we construct companion $q$-series for a class of $q$-series such that the asymptotic expansion of…

The bivariate series $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ defines a {\em partial theta function}. For fixed $q$ ($|q|<1$), $\theta (q,.)$ is an entire function. We prove a property of stabilization of the coefficients of the…

We prove that for $k\ge 1$, all coefficients in the expansion of the series $$\sum_{n\ge 0} \frac{(q^{2n+2}, q^{2n+2k}; q^2)_\infty}{(q^{2n+1};q^2)_\infty^2} q^{2n}$$ are positive, by $q$-hypergeometric means. This confirms a recent…

In [Temme N.M., Special functions. An introduction to the classical functions of mathematical physics, A Wiley-Interscience Publication, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1996, Section 11.3.3.1] a uniform asymptotic expansion for the…

We present a positivity conjecture for the coefficients of the development of Jack polynomials in terms of power sums. This extends Stanley's ex-conjecture about normalized characters of the symmetric group. We prove this conjecture for…

Recently, Wang and Ma propose a conjecture associated with the possible generalization of Andrews-Warnaar identities. It is confirmed in this paper. As the applications of this conjecture, we prove that a family of series can be expressed…

We give evaluations of certain Borwein's theta functions which appear in Ramanujan theory of alternative elliptic modular bases. Most of this theory where developed by B.C. Berndt, S. Bhargava and F.G. Garvan. We also study the most general…

In a recent paper, J. Lovejoy and the second author conjectured that ranks for four types of unimodal like sequences satisfy certain inequalities. In this paper, we prove these conjectures asymptotically. For this, we extend Wright's Circle…

We conjecture that, if the quotient of two $q$-binomial coefficients with the same top argument is a polynomial, then it has non-negative coefficients. We summarise what is known about the conjecture and prove it in two non-trivial cases.…

In this paper we formulate a conjecture which is a strengthening of an extension theorem of Bakonyi and Timotin for positive definite functions on the free group on two generators. We prove that this conjecture implies Connes' embedding…

In a recent paper, Andrews, Dixit, and Yee introduced a new spt-type function $\operatorname{spt}_\omega(n)$, which is closely related to Ramanujan's third order mock theta function $\omega(q)$. Garvan and Jennings-Shaffer introduce a crank…

We prove Samuel's conjecture on certain Graham positivity of the expansion coefficient of two double Schubert polynomials in three sets of variables by establishing a refined version of Graham's positivity theorem. As a corollary, we prove…

The authors conjecture an asymptotic expression for the sixth power moment of the Riemann zeta function. They establish related results on the asymptotics of the zeta function that support the conjecture.

In this short note, a general result concerning the positivity, under some conditions, of the coefficients of a power series is proved. This allows us to answer positively a question raised by Guo (2010) about the sign of the coefficients…

We prove that the enumerative polynomials of generalized Stirling permutations by the statistics of plateaux, descents and ascents are partial $\gamma$-positive. Specialization of our result to the Jacobi-Stirling permutations confirms a…

In this paper we extend a result on the asymptotics of moments of certain cotangent sums associated to the Estermann and Riemann zeta functions established in a previous paper for integer exponents to arbitrary positive real exponents.

In this paper, we prove asymptotic expansions of generalized partial theta functions with a nonprincipal Dirichlet character and relate these expansions to certain $L$-series.

We give a probabilistic interpretation of the coefficients of the elementary symmetric function expansion of the chromatic quasisymmetric function for any unit interval graph. As a corollary, we prove the Stanley--Stembridge conjecture.
