چکیده

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a quantum Jacobi form, and offer the two-variable combinatorial generating function for ranks of strongly unimodal sequences as an example. We then use its quantum Jacobi properties to establish a new, simpler expression for this function as a two-variable Laurent polynomial when evaluated at pairs of rational numbers. Our results also yield a new expression for radial limits associated to the partition rank and crank functions previously studied by Ono, Rhoades, and Folsom.

Unimodal Sequences and “strange” Functions: a Family of Quantum Modular Forms

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of quantum modular forms from combinatorial rank “moment” generating functions for strongly unimodal sequences. The first member of this family is Kontsevich’s “strange” function studied by Zagier. These results rely upon the theory of mock Jacobi forms. As a corollary, we exploit the quantum and mock modular properties of these combinatorial funct...

JACOBI’S TRIPLE PRODUCT, MOCK THETA FUNCTIONS, UNIMODAL SEQUENCES AND THE q-BRACKET

In Ramanujan’s final letter to Hardy, he wrote of a strange new class of infinite series he called “mock theta functions”. It turns out all of Ramanujan’s mock theta functions are essentially specializations of a so-called universal mock theta function g3(z, q) of Gordon–McIntosh. Here we show that g3 arises naturally from the reciprocal of the classical Jacobi triple product—and is intimately ...

Mock and mixed mock modular forms in the lower half-plane

We study mock and mixed mock modular forms in the lower half-plane. In particular, our results apply to Zwegers’ three-variable mock Jacobi form μ(u, v; τ), three-variable generalizations of the universal mock modular partition rank generating function, and the quantum and mock modular strongly unimodal sequence rank generating function. We do not rely upon the analytic properties of these func...

The Mordell Integral, Quantum Modular Forms, and Mock Jacobi Forms

It is explained how the Mordell integral ∫ R e −2πzx cosh(πx) dx unifies the mock theta functions, partial (or false) theta functions, and some of Zagier’s quantum modular forms. As an application, we exploit the connections between q-hypergeometric series and mock and partial theta functions to obtain finite evaluations of the Mordell integral for rational choices of τ and z. 1. The Mordell In...
