Euler Products in Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook
نویسندگان
چکیده
In his famous paper, “On certain arithmetical functions”, Ramanujan offers for the first time the Euler product of the Dirichlet series in which the coefficients are given by Ramanujan’s tau-function. In his lost notebook, Ramanujan records further Euler products for L-series attached to modular forms, and, typically, does not record proofs for these claims. In this semi-expository article, for the Euler products appearing in his lost notebook, we provide or sketch proofs using elementary methods, binary quadratic forms, and modular forms.

Ramanujan’s Contributions to Eisenstein Series, Especially in His Lost Notebook
where Bn, n ≥ 0, denotes the nth Bernoulli number, and where σν(n) = ∑ d|n d ν . The latter two representations in (1.1) can be established by using the Lipschitz summation formula or Fourier analysis. For these and other basic properties of Eisenstein series, see, for example, R. A. Rankin’s text [41, Chap. 6]. In Ramanujan’s notation, the three most relevant Eisenstein series are defined for ...
متن کاملCombinatorics of generalized q-Euler numbers
New enumerating functions for the Euler numbers are considered. Several of the relevant generating functions appear in connection to entries in Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook. The results presented here are, in part, a response to a conjecture made by M. E. H. Ismail and C. Zhang about the symmetry of polynomials in Ramanujan’s expansion for a generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan series. Related g...

Two entries of bilateral sums in Ramanujan’s lost notebook are confirmed by means of Dougall’s bilateral series identities with one of them being corrected.
متن کاملWeighted forms of Euler's theorem
In answer to a question of Andrews about finding combinatorial proofs of two identities in Ramanujan’s “lost” notebook, we obtain weighted forms of Euler’s theorem on partitions with odd parts and distinct parts. This work is inspired by the insight of Andrews on the connection between Ramanujan’s identities and Euler’s theorem. Our combinatorial formulations of Ramanujan’s identities rely on t...
