Ramanujan's Lost Notebook

In 2005, using a famous lemma of Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer (Some properties of partitions, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 4 (1954), 84–106), Yesilyurt (Four identities related to third order mock theta functions in Ramanujan’s lost notebook, Adv. Math. 190 (2005), 278–299) proved four identities for third order mock theta functions found on pages 2 and 17 in Ramanujan’s lost notebook. The primary purpose of this paper is to offer new proofs in the spirit of what Ramanujan might have given in the hope that a better understanding of the identities might be gained. Third order mock theta functions are intimately connected with ranks of partitions. We prove new dissections for two rank generating functions, which are keys to our proof of the fourth, and the most difficult, of Ramanujan’s identities. In the last section of this paper, we establish new relations for ranks arising from our dissections of rank generating functions.

Recently, Andrews, Dixit and Yee introduced partition functions associated with Ramanujan/Watson third-order mock theta functions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we find several new exact generating functions for those partition functions as well as the associated smallest part functions and deduce several new congruences modulo powers of 5.

Rank Functions

In1916, Srinivasa Ramanujan defined the Mock Theta functions in his lost notebook and unpublished papers. We prove the Mock Theta Conjectures with the help of Dyson’s rank and S. Ramanujan’s Mock Theta functions. These functions were quoted in Ramanujan’s lost notebook and unpublished papers. In1916, Ramanujan stated the theta series in x like A(x), B(x), C(x), D(x). We discuss the Ramanujan’s functions with the help of Dyson’s rank symbols. These functions are useful to prove the Mock Theta Conjectures. Now first Mock Theta Conjecture is “The number of partitions of 5n with rank congruent to 1 modulo 5 equals the number of partitions of 5n with rank congruent to 0 modulo 5 plus the number of partitions of n with unique smallest part and all other parts   the double of the smallest part”, and Second Mock Theta Conjecture is “The double of the number of partitions of   with rank congruent to 2 modulo 5 equals the sum of the number of partitions of   with rank congruent to 0 and congruent to1 modulo 5, and the sum of one and the number of partitions of n with unique smallest part and all other parts  one plus the double of the smallest part”. This paper shows how to prove the Theorem 1.3 with the help of Dyson’s rank symbols N(0,5,5n+1), N(2,5, 5n+1) and shows how to prove the Theorem 1.4 with the help of Ramanujan’s theta series and Dyson’s rank symbols N(1,5, 5n+2), N(2,5, 5n+2) respectively.

Zudilin, On three theorems of Folsom, Ono and Rhoades, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 143(4) (2015) 1471–1476], the authors found the bilateral series for the universal mock theta function [Formula: see text]. In [Choi, 2011], the author presented the bilateral series connected with the odd-order mock theta functions in terms of Appell–Lerch sums. However, the author only derived the associated bilateral series for the fifth-order mock theta functions. The purpose of this paper is to further derive different types of bilateral series for the third-order mock theta functions. As applications, the identities between the two-group bilateral series are obtained and the bilateral series associated to the third-order mock theta functions are in fact modular forms. Then, we consider duals of the second type in terms of Appell–Lerch sums and duals in terms of partial theta functions defined by Hickerson and Mortenson of duals of the second type in terms of Appell–Lerch sums of such bilateral series associated to some third-order mock theta functions that Chen did not discuss in [On the dual nature theory of bilateral series associated to mock theta functions, Int. J. Number Theory 14 (2018) 63–94].

AbstractIn his last letter to Hardy, Ramanujan defined 17 functionsF(q), |q| < 1, which he calledmockθ-functions. He observed that asqradially approaches any root of unity ζ at whichF(q) has an exponential singularity, there is aθ-functionTζ(q) withF(q) −Tζ(q) =O(1). Since then, other functions have been found that possess this property. These functions are related to a functionH(x,q), wherexis usuallyqrore2πirfor some rational numberr. For this reason we refer toHas a “universal” mockθ-function. Modular transformations ofHgive rise to the functionsK,K1,K2. The functionsKandK1appear in Ramanujan's lost notebook. We prove various linear relations between these functions using Appell–Lerch sums (also called generalized Lambert series). Some relations (mock theta “conjectures”) involving mockθ-functions of even order andHare listed.
