In this note, we evaluate sums of partial theta functions. Our main tool is an application of an extended version of the Bailey transform to an identity of Gasper and Rahman on $q$ -hypergeometric series.

AbstractUsing results from Ramanujan's lost notebook, Zudilin recently gave an insightful proof of a radial limit result of Folsomet al.for mock theta functions. Here we see that Mortenson's previous work on the dual nature of Appell–Lerch sums and partial theta functions and on constructing bilateralq-series with mixed mock modular behaviour is well suited for such radial limits. We present five more radial limit results, which follow from mixed mock modular bilateralq-hypergeometric series. We also obtain the mixed mock modular bilateral series for a universal mock theta function of Gordon and McIntosh. The later bilateral series can be used to compute radial limits for many classical second-, sixth-, eighth- and tenth-order mock theta functions.

In recent work, Hickerson and Mortenson introduced a dual notion between Appell–Lerch sums and partial theta functions. In this sense, Appell–Lerch sums and partial theta functions appear to be dual to each other. In this paper, by making the substitution [Formula: see text] in the tail of the associated bilateral series of mock theta functions and universal mock theta functions, we demonstrate how to obtain duals of the second type in terms of Appell–Lerch sums defined by Mortenson for such functions. Then by using the substitution [Formula: see text] in duals of the second type of each bilateral series, we present how to translate between identities expressing [Formula: see text]-hypergeometric series in terms of Appell–Lerch sums and identities expressing [Formula: see text]-hypergeometric series in terms of partial theta functions. Indeed, we obtain only four duals in terms of partial theta functions of duals of the second type in terms of Appell–Lerch sums of bilateral series associated to mock theta functions. As an application, we construct Ramanujan radial limits by using these bilateral series with mock modular behavior in terms of Appell–Lerch sums for some order mock theta functions. This method is well-suited for the other order mock theta functions.

Abstract In the theory of harmonic Maaß forms and mock modular forms, mock theta functions are distinguished examples which arose from q-hypergeometric examples of Ramanujan. Recently, there has been a body of work on higher depth mock modular forms. Here, we introduce distinguished examples of these forms, which we call higher depth mock theta functions, and develop q-hypergeometric expressions for them. We provide three examples of mock theta functions of depth two, each arising by multiplying a classical mock theta function with a certain specialization of a universal mock theta function. In addition, we give their modular completions, and relate each to a q-hypergeometric series.

In this paper, we obtain some Hecke-type identities by using two [Formula: see text]-series expansion formulae. And, the identities can also be proved directly in terms of Bailey pairs. In particular, we show that certain partial theta functions and the theta functions can be expressed in terms of Hecke-type identities.
