Motivated by earlier work of P.~A.~MacMahon and recent contributions of T.~Amdeberhan, G.~E.~Andrews, K.~Ono, A.~Singh, and R.~Tauraso on higher-order partition enumerants, we study a class of $q$-series arising from nested divisor…

In 1919, P. A. MacMahon studied generating functions for generalized divisor sums. In this paper, we provide a framework in which to view these generating functions in terms of Jacobi forms, and prove that they are quasi-modular forms.

MacMahon showed that the generating function for partitions into at most $k$ parts can be decomposed into a partial fractions-type sum indexed by the partitions of $k$. In this present work, a generalization of MacMahon's result is given,…

In his important 1920 paper on partitions, MacMahon defined the partition generating functions \begin{align*} A_k(q)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\mathfrak{m}(k;n)q^n&:=\sum_{0< s_1<s_2<\cdots<s_k}…

A century ago, P. A. MacMahon introduced two families of generating functions, $$ \sum_{1\leq n_1<n_2<\cdots<n_t}\prod_{k=1}^t\frac{q^{n_k}}{(1-q^{n_k})^2} \quad\text{ and } \sum_{\substack{1\leq n_1<n_2<\cdots<n_t\\…

In the present work, we extend current research in a nearly-forgotten but newly revived topic, initiated by P. A. MacMahon, on a generalized notion which relates the divisor sums to the theory of integer partitions and two infinite families…

We give explicit expressions for MacMahon's generalized sums-of-divisors $q$-series $A_r$ and $C_r$ by relating them to (odd) multiple Eisenstein series. Recently, these sums-of-divisors have been studied in the context of quasimodular…

In 1920, MacMahon introduced two families of $q$-series to study divisor sums. Recent work has shown that MacMahon's $q$-series are closely connected to overpartitions and $3$-colored partitions. Merca introduced truncated forms of…

We investigate a relationship between MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors functions and Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. This determines a recurrence relation to compute these functions, as well as proving a conjecture of…

Recently, MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisor functions were shown to link partitions, quasimodular forms, and q-multiple zeta values. In this paper, we explore many further properties and extensions of these. Firstly, we address a…

Here we investigate the $q$-series \begin{align*} \mathcal{U}_a(q)&=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} MO(a;n)q^n&:=\sum_{0< k_1<k_2<\cdots<k_a} \frac{q^{k_1+k_2+\cdots+k_a}}{(1-q^{k_1})^2(1-q^{k_2})^2\cdots(1-q^{k_a})^2},\\…

This paper is devoted to the study of $$ U_t(a,q):=\sum_{1\leq n_1<n_2<\cdots<n_t}\frac{q^{n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_t}}{(1+aq^{n_1}+q^{2n_1})(1+aq^{n_2}+q^{2n_2})\cdots(1+aq^{n_t}+q^{2n_t})} $$ when $a$ is one of $0, \pm 1, \pm2$. The idea builds…

Sums of the form $\sum_{q \leq N_1 < \cdots < N_m \leq n}{a_{(m);N_m}\cdots a_{(2);N_2}a_{(1);N_1}}$ date back to the sixteen century when Vi\`ete illustrated that the relation linking the roots and coefficients of a polynomial had this…

About a century ago, P. A. MacMahon introduced a class of $q$-series, which are nowadays referred to as MacMahon series. More recently, in 2013, G. E. Andrews and S. C. F. Rose revealed the quasimodular property of these series. In this…

Ramanujan gave a recurrence relation for the partition function in terms of the sum of the divisor function $\sigma(n)$. In 1885, J.W. Glaisher considered seven divisor sums closely related to the sum of the divisors function. We develop a…

Sums of the form $\sum_{N_m=q}^{n}{\cdots \sum_{N_1=q}^{N_2}{a_{(m);N_m}\cdots a_{(1);N_1}}}$ where the $a_{(k);N_k}$'s are same or distinct sequences appear quite often in mathematics. We will refer to them as recurrent sums. In this…

In this paper, we prove several new infinite families of Ramanujan--like congruences satisfied by the coefficients of the generating function $U_t(a,q)$ which is an extension of MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors function. As a…

In I981, Uchimura studied a divisor generating $q$-series that has applications in probability theory and in the analysis of data structures, called heaps. Mainly, he proved the following identity. For $|q|<1$, \begin{equation*}…

We establish asymptotic formulae for various correlations involving general divisor functions $d_k(n)$ and partial divisor functions $d_l(n,A)=\sum_{q|n:q\leq n^A}d_{l-1}(q)$, where $A\in[0,1]$ is a parameter and $k,l\in\mathbb{N}$ are…

We study the mean square of sums of the $k$th divisor function $d_k(n)$ over short intervals and arithmetic progressions for the rational function field over a finite field of $q$ elements. In the limit as $q\rightarrow\infty$ we establish…
