Maass forms and the mock theta function f(q)

Mock Theta Functions, Ranks, and Maass Forms

Harmonic Maass Forms, Mock Modular Forms, and Quantum Modular Forms

This short course is an introduction to the theory of harmonic Maass forms, mock modular forms, and quantum modular forms. These objects have many applications: black holes, Donaldson invariants, partitions and q-series, modular forms, probability theory, singular moduli, Borcherds products, central values and derivatives of modular L-functions, generalized Gross-Zagier formulae, to name a few....

A Short Proof of the Mock Theta Conjectures Using Maass Forms

A celebrated work of D. Hickerson gives a proof of the Mock Theta Conjectures using Hecke-type identities discovered by G. Andrews. Here, we respond to a remark by K. Bringmann, K. Ono and R. Rhoades and provide a short proof of the Mock Theta Conjectures by realizing each side of the identities as the holomorphic projection of a harmonic weak Maass form.

Mock Theta Functions and Quantum Modular Forms

Ramanujan’s last letter to Hardy concerns the asymptotic properties of modular forms and his ‘mock theta functions’. For the mock theta function f (q), Ramanujan claims that as q approaches an even-order 2k root of unity, we have f (q)− (−1)(1− q)(1− q)(1− q) · · · (1− 2q+ 2q − · · ·)= O(1). We prove Ramanujan’s claim as a special case of a more general result. The implied constants in Ramanuja...
