Relations between Rα, Rβ and Rm functions related to Jacobi’s triple-product identity and the family of theta-function identities

In this paper, the author establishes a set of three new theta-function identities involving Rα, Rβ and Rm functions which are based upon a number of q-product identities and Jacobi’s celebrated triple-product identity. These theta-function identities depict the inter-relationships that exist among theta-function identities and combinatorial partition-theoretic identities. Here, in this paper we answer a open question of Srivastava et al [33], and established relations in terms of Rα, Rβ and Rm (for m = 1, 2, 3), and q-products identities. Finally, we choose to further emphasize upon some close connections with combinatorial partition-theoretic identities.

A universal identity for theta functions of degree eight and applications

International audience Previously, we proved an identity for theta functions of degree eight, and several applications of it were also discussed. This identity is a natural extension of the addition formula for the Weierstrass sigma-function. In this paper we will use this identity to reexamine our work in theta function identities in the past two decades. Hundreds of results about elliptic modular functions, both classical and new, are derived from this identity with ease. Essentially, this general theta function identity is a theta identities generating machine. Our investigation shows that many well-known results about elliptic modular functions with different appearances due to Jacobi, Kiepert, Ramanujan and Weierstrass among others, actually share a common source. This paper can also be seen as a summary of my past work on theta function identities. A conjecture is also proposed.

Some Ramanujan-type circular summation formulas

In this paper, we give two Ramanujan-type circular summation formulas by applying the way of elliptic functions and the properties of theta functions. As applications, we obtain the corresponding imaginary transformation formulas for Ramanujan-type circular summations and some theta function identities.

Elliptic classes, McKay correspondence and theta identities

We revisit the construction of elliptic class given by Borisov and Libgober for singular algebraic varieties. Assuming torus action we adjust the theory to the equivariant local situation. We study theta function identities having a geometric origin. In the case of quotient singularities $${\mathbb {C}}^n/G$$ C n / G , where G is a finite group the theta identities arise from McKay correspondence. The symplectic singularities are of special interest. The Du Val surface singularity $$A_n$$ A n leads to a remarkable formula.

A twisted generalization of the classical Dedekind sum

In this paper, we express three different, yet related, character sums in terms of generalized Bernoulli numbers. Two of these sums are generalizations of sums introduced and studied by Berndt and Arakawa–Ibukiyama–Kaneko in the context of the theory of modular forms. A third sum generalizes a sum already studied by Ramanujan in the context of theta function identities. Our methods are elementary, relying only on basic facts from algebra and number theory.

A Family of Theta-Function Identities Based upon Combinatorial Partition Identities Related to Jacobi’s Triple-Product Identity

The authors establish a set of six new theta-function identities involving multivariable R-functions which are based upon a number of q-product identities and Jacobi’s celebrated triple-product identity. These theta-function identities depict the inter-relationships that exist among theta-function identities and combinatorial partition-theoretic identities. Here, in this paper, we consider and relate the multivariable R-functions to several interesting q-identities such as (for example) a number of q-product identities and Jacobi’s celebrated triple-product identity. Various recent developments on the subject-matter of this article as well as some of its potential application areas are also briefly indicated. Finally, we choose to further emphasize upon some close connections with combinatorial partition-theoretic identities and present a presumably open problem.

Some New Congruences for l-Regular Partitions Modulo 13, 17, and 23

International audience A partition of n is l-regular if none of its parts is divisible by l. Let b l (n) denote the number of l-regular partitions of n. In this paper, using theta function identities due to Ramanujan, we establish some new infinite families of congruences for b l (n) modulo l, where l = 17, 23, and for b 65 (n) modulo 13.
