In this paper we obtain some new transformation formula for Ramanujan summation formula and also establish some eta-function identities. we also deduce a q-Gamma function identity, n q-integral and some interesting series representation.
In this short research note, we aim to establish an interesting extension of a summation due to Ramanujan.The result is derived with the help of an extension of Gauss's summation theorem available in the literature.
In this paper, we give some extensions for Ramanujan's circular summation formula with the mixed products of two Jacobi's theta functions. As some applications, we also obtain many interesting identities of Jacobi's theta functions.
Using Abel summation the paper proves a weak form of the Wiener-Khinchin formula for arithmetic functions with point-wise convergent Ramanujan-Fourier expansions. The main result is that the convolution of most arithmetic functions possessing an R-F expansion are Abel-summable to a result involving only the Ramanujan-Fourier coefficients of the R-F expansion(s).
We use a specialization of Ramanujan's ${}_1ψ_1$ summation to give a new proof of a recent formula of Hickerson and Mortenson which expands a special family of Hecke-type double sums in terms of Appell-Lerch sums and theta functions.
In the sixth chapter of his notebooks Ramanujan introduced a method of summing divergent series which assigns to the series the value of the associated Euler-MacLaurin constant that arises by applying the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula to the partial sums of the series. This method is now called the Ramanujan summation process. In this paper we calculate the Ramanujan sum of the exponential generating functions $\sum_{n\geq 1}\log n e^{nz}$ and $\sum_{n\geq 1}H_n^{(j)} e^{-nz}$ where $H_n^{(j)}=\sum_{m=1}^n \frac{1}{m^j}$. We find a surprising relation between the two sums when $j=1$ from w…
This paper gives a short but reasonably comprehensive review of Ramanujan's {_1ψ_1} summation and its generalisations. It covers the history of Ramanujan's summation, simple applications to sums of squares and orthogonal polynomials, non-commutative generalisations, and generalisations to affine root systems.
The neglected Russian mathematician, N.~S.~Koshliakov, derived beautiful generalizations of the classical Abel--Plana summation formula through a setting arising from a boundary value problem in heat conduction. When we let the parameter $p$ in this setting tend to infinity, his formulas reduce to the classical Abel--Plana summation formula. Rigorous formulations and proofs of these summation formulas are given. In his notebooks, Ramanujan derived different analogues of the Abel--Plana summation formula. One particular example provides a vast new generalization of the classical transformation …
Recently, $4$-regular partitions into distinct parts are connected with a family of overpartitions. In this paper, we provide a uniform extension of two relations due to Andrews for the two types of partitions. Such an extension is made possible with recourse to a new trivariate Rogers--Ramanujan type identity, which concerns a family of quadruple summations appearing as generating functions for the aforementioned overpartitions. More interestingly, the derivation of this Rogers--Ramanujan type identity is relevant to a certain well-poised basic hypergeometric series.
An elliptic $BC_n$ generalization of the classical two parameter Bailey Lemma is proved, and a basic one parameter $BC_n$ Bailey Lemma is obtained as a limiting case. Several summation and transformation formulas associated with the root system $BC_n$ are proved as applications, including a $_6ϕ_5$ summation formula, a generalized Watson transformation and an unspecialized Rogers--Selberg identity. The last identity is specialized to give an infinite family of multilateral Rogers--Selberg identities. Standard determinant evaluations are then used to compute $B_n$ and $D_n$ generalizations of t…
In terms of the hypergeometric method, we establish the extensions of two formulas for $1/π$ due to Ramanujan [27]. Further, other five summation formulas for $1/π$ with free parameters are also derived in the same way.
By virtue of Bailey's well-known bilateral 6ψ_6 summation formula and Watson's transformation formula,we extend the four-variable generalization of Ramanujan's reciprocity theorem due to Andrews to a five-variable one. Some relevant new q-series identities including a new proof of Ramanujan's reciprocity theorem and of Watson's quintuple product identity only based on Jackson's transformation are presented.
Lucy Slater used Bailey's $_6ψ_6$ summation formula to derive the Bailey pairs she used to construct her famous list of 130 identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type. In the present paper we apply the same techniques to Chu's $_{10}ψ_{10}$ generalization of Bailey's formula to produce quite general Bailey pairs. Slater's Bailey pairs are then recovered as special limiting cases of these more general pairs. In re-examining Slater's work, we find that her Bailey pairs are, for the most part, special cases of more general Bailey pairs containing one or more free parameters. Further, we also find ne…
It is mathematical folklore that 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... = --1/12. This result is usually achieved using elaborate analytical methods, such as zeta function regularization or Ramanujan summation. However, in its notebooks, Ramanujan has also provided a very simple derivation which relied instead on algebraic manipulations. Recently, a video from Numberphile has presented a similar derivation of the result (provoking lots of discussions and debates about the meaning of such an equality). But this derivation, simple as it is, is usually considered as less rigorous than those using more elaborate ana…
In this paper, we introduce some explicit approximations for the summation $\sum_{k\leq n}Ω(k)$, where $Ω(k)$ is the total number of prime factors of $k$.
We continue the analysis of the elliptic part of the trace formula initiated in \cite{Altug:2015aa}. In that reference Poisson summation was applied to the elliptic part and the dominant term was analyzed. The main aim of this paper is to study the remaining terms after Poisson summation. We analyze the the Fourier transforms of (smoothed) orbital integrals and obtain exact asymptotic expansions. As an application we recover, using the Arthur-Selberg trace formula, Kuznetsov's result (cf. \cite{Kuznetsov:1980aa}) that the trace of the $p$th Hecke operator on cuspidal automorphic representation…
We derive two new analogues of a transformation formula of Ramanujan involving the Gamma and Riemann zeta functions present in the Lost Notebook. Both involve infinite series consisting of Hurwitz zeta functions and yield modular relations. As a special case of the first formula, we obtain an identity involving polygamma functions given by Andrew P. Guinand and as a limiting case of the second formula, we derive the transformation formula of Ramanujan.
In 'The Lost Notebook and Other Unpublished Papers' of Ramanujan are present some manuscripts of Ramanujan in the handwriting of G. N. Watson which are 'copied from loose papers'. We present a proof of a beautiful formula of Ramanujan in one of these manuscripts, namely a transformation formula involving the Gamma function and Riemann Zeta function. This formula elegantly yields a modular relation. Later we also give another proof of the first equality of this transformation formula along the lines suggested by Andrew P. Guinand.
We prove a remarkable formula of Ramanujan for the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function, which converges more rapidly than classical expansions, and which is stated without proof in Ramanujan's notebooks. The formula has a number of very interesting consequences which we derive, including an elegant hyperbolic summation, Ramanujan's formula for the Riemann zeta function evaluated at the odd positive integers, and new formulae for Euler's constant, gamma.
We introduce a method that is based on Fourier series expansions related to Jacobi elliptic functions and that we apply to determine new identities for evaluating hyperbolic infinite sums in terms of the complete elliptic integrals $K$ and $E$. We apply our method to determine generalizations of a family of $\text{sech}$-sums given by Ramanujan and generalizations of a family of $\text{csch}$-sums given by Zucker. Our method has the advantage of producing evaluations for hyperbolic sums with sign functions that have not previously appeared in the literature on hyperbolic sums. We apply our met…
We define an extension of the Ramanujan trigonometric function to arbitrary dimensions, and give the Dirichlet series generating function. The extension was first given by Eckford Cohen long ago. This links directly to visible point vector identities, and possibly to lattice sums in Physics and Chemistry presented by Baake et al. New generating functions and summations are given here, generalizing the Ramanujan function, Euler totient and the Jordan totient functions, based on visible lattice point ideas.
We study the quotient of hypergeometric functions \begin{equation*} μ_{a}^*(r)=\fracπ{2\sin{(πa)}}\frac{F(a,1-a;1;1-r^3)}{F(a,1-a;1;r^3)} \quad (r\in(0,1)) \end{equation*} in the theory of Ramanujan's generalized modular equation for $a\in(0,1/2]$, find an infinite product formula for $μ_{1/3}^*(r)$ by use of the properties of $μ_{a}^*(r)$ and Ramanujan's cubic transformation. Besides, a new cubic transformation formula of hypergeometric function is given, which complements the Ramanujan's cubic transformation.
The modular transformations of Ramanujan's tenth order mock theta functions are computed, beginning from Choi's Hecke-type identites and using Zwegers' results on indefinite theta series. Explicit completions and shadows are found as an intermediate step. Our result for the modular transformations confirms numerical work by Gordon and McIntosh, and a recent conjecture by Cheng, Duncan, and Harvey.
General summation formulas have been proved to be very useful in analysis, number theory and other branches of mathematics. The Lipschitz summation formula is one of them. In this paper, we give its application by providing a new transformation formula which generalizes that of Ramanujan. Ramanujan's result, in turn, is a generalization of the modular transformation of Eisenstein series $E_k(z)$ on SL$_2(\mathbb{Z})$, where $z\to-1/z, z\in\mathbb{H}$. The proof of our result involves delicate analysis containing Cauchy Principal Value integrals. A simpler proof of a recent result of ours with …
The Kronecker theta function is a quotient of the Jacobi theta functions, which is also a special case of Ramanujan's $_1ψ_1$ summation. Using the Kronecker theta function as building blocks, we prove a decomposition theorem for theta functions. This decomposition theorem is the common source of a large number of theta function identities. Many striking theta function identities, both classical and new, are derived from this decomposition theorem with ease. A new addition formula for theta functions is established. Several known results in the theory of elliptic theta functions due to Ramanuja…
We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then specializing certain free parameters in these transformations, and employing various identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type, we derive \emph{$m$-versions} of these identities. Some of the identities thus found are new, and some have been derived previously by other authors, using different methods. By applying certain transformations due to Watson, Heine and Ramanujan, w…
A new class of integrals involving the product of $Ξ$-functions associated with primitive Dirichlet characters is considered. These integrals give rise to transformation formulas of the type $F(z, α,χ)=F(-z, β,\barχ)=F(-z,α,\barχ)=F(z,β,χ)$, where $αβ=1$. New character analogues of transformation formulas of Guinand and Koshliakov as well as those of a formula of Ramanujan and its recent generalization are shown as particular examples. Finally, character analogues of a conjecture of Ramanujan, Hardy and Littlewood involving infinite series of Möbius functions are derived.
We revisit old conjectures of Fermat and Euler regarding representation of integers by binary quadratic form x^2+5y^2. Making use of Ramanujan's_1ψ_1 summation formula we establish a new Lambert series identity for \sum_{n,m=-\infty}^{\infty} q^{n^2+5m^2}. Conjectures of Fermat and Euler are shown to follow easily from this new formula. But we don't stop there. Employing various formulas found in Ramanujan's notebooks and using a bit of ingenuity we obtaina collection of new Lambert series for certain infinite products associated with quadratic forms such as x^2+6y^2, 2x^2+3y^2, x^2+15y^2, 3x^…
In this paper we show that various continued fractions for the quotient of general Ramanujan functions $G(aq,b,łq)/G(a,b,ł)$ may be derived from each other via Bauer-Muir transformations. The separate convergence of numerators and denominators play a key part in showing that the continued fractions and their Bauer-Muir transformations converge to the same limit. We also show that these continued fractions may be derived from Heine's continued fraction for a ratio of $_2ϕ_1$ functions and other continued fractions of a similar type, and by this method derive a new continued fraction for $G(aq,b…
We find summation identities and transformations for the McCarthy's $p$-adic hypergeometric series by evaluating certain Gauss sums which appear while counting points on the family $$Z_λ: x_1^d+x_2^d=dλx_1x_2^{d-1}$$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$. A. Salerno expresses the number of points over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ on the family $Z_λ$ in terms of quotients of $p$-adic gamma function under the condition that $d|p-1$. In this paper, we first express the number of points over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ on the family $Z_λ$ in terms of McCarthy's $p$-adic hypergeometric series for a…
Page 332 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a compelling identity for $ζ(1/2)$, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. On the same page, Ramanujan also recorded the series, \begin{align*} \frac{1^r}{\exp(1^s x) - 1} + \frac{2^r}{\exp(2^s x) - 1} + \frac{3^r}{\exp(3^s x) - 1} + \cdots, \end{align*} where $s$ is a positive integer and $r-s$ is any even integer. Unfortunately, Ramanujan doesn't give any formula for it. This series was rediscovered by Kanemitsu, Tanigawa, and Yoshimoto, although they studied it only when $r-s$ is a negative even integer. Recently, Dixit a…
A comprehensive study of the generalized Lambert series $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n^{N-2h}\exp{(-an^{N}x)}}{1-\exp{(-n^{N}x)}}, 0<a\leq 1,\ x>0$, $N\in\mathbb{N}$ and $h\in\mathbb{Z}$, is undertaken. Two of the general transformations of this series that we obtain here lead to two-parameter generalizations of Ramanujan's famous formula for $ζ(2m+1)$, $m>0$ and the transformation formula for $\logη(z)$. Numerous important special cases of our transformations are derived. An identity relating $ζ(2N+1), ζ(4N+1),\cdots, ζ(2Nm+1)$ is obtained for $N$ odd and $m\in\mathbb{N}$. Certain t…
A new class of integrals involving the confluent hypergeometric function ${}_1F_{1}(a;c;z)$ and the Riemann $Ξ$-function is considered. It generalizes a class containing some integrals of S. Ramanujan, G.H. Hardy and W.L. Ferrar and gives as by-products, transformation formulas of the form $F(z,α)=F(iz,β)$, where $αβ=1$. As particular examples, we derive an extended version of the general theta transformation formula and generalizations of certain formulas of Ferrar and Hardy. A one-variable generalization of a well-known identity of Ramanujan is also given. We conclude with a generalization o…
In this paper, transformation formulas for a large class of Eisenstein series defined by \[ G(z,s;A_α,B_β;r_{1},r_{2})=\sum\limits_{m,n=-\infty}^{\infty }\ \hspace{-0.19in}^{^{\prime}}\frac{f(αm)f^{\ast}(βn)} {((m+r_{1})z+n+r_{2})^{s}},\text{ }\operatorname{Re}(s)>2,\text{ }\operatorname{Im}(z)>0 \] are investigated for $s=1-r$, $r\in\mathbb{N}$. Here $\left\{ f(n)\right\}$ and $\left\{ f^{\ast}(n)\right\}$, $-\infty<n<\infty$ are sequences of complex numbers with period $k>0$, and $A_α=\left\{ f(αn)\right\} $ and $B_β=\left\{ f^{\ast}(βn)\right\}$, $α,β\in\mathbb{Z}$. Appearing in the transfo…
At the 1987 Ramanujan Centenary meeting Dyson asked for a coherent group-theoretical structure for Ramanujan's mock theta functions analogous to Hecke's theory of modular forms. Many of Ramanujan's mock theta functions can be written in terms of $R(ζ,q)$, where $R(z,q)$ is the two-variable generating function of Dyson's rank function and $ζ$ is a root of unity. Building on earlier work of Watson, Zwegers, Gordon and McIntosh, and motivated by Dyson's question, Bringmann, Ono and Rhoades studied transformation properties of $R(ζ,q)$. In this paper we strengthen and extend the results of Bringma…
We focus on three pages in Ramanujan's lost notebook, pages 336, 335, and 332, in decreasing order of attention. On page 336, Ramanujan proposes two identities, but the formulas are wrong -- each is vitiated by divergent series. We concentrate on only one of the two incorrect "identities", which may have been devised to attack the extended divisor problem. We prove here a corrected version of Ramanujan's claim, which contains the convergent series appearing in it. The convergent series in Ramanujan's faulty claim is similar to one used by G.F. Voronoi, G.H. Hardy, and others in their study of …
The classical transformation of Jacobi's theta function admits a simple proof by producing an integral representation that yields this invariance apparent. This idea seems to have first appeared in the work of S. Ramanujan. Several examples of this idea have been produced by Koshlyakov, Ferrar, Guinand, Ramanujan and others. A unifying procedure to analyze these examples and natural generalizations is presented.
This paper presents a family of rapidly convergent summation formulas for various finite sums of analytic functions. These summation formulas are obtained by applying a series acceleration transformation involving Stirling numbers of the first kind to the asymptotic, but divergent, expressions for the corresponding sums coming from the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula. While it is well-known that the expressions obtained from the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula diverge, our summation formulas are all very rapidly convergent and thus computationally efficient.
Let $(α_n(a,k),β_n(a,k))$ be a WP-Bailey pair. Assuming the limits exist, let \[ (α_n^*(a),β_n^*(a))_{n\geq 1} = \lim_{k \to 1}\left(α_n(a,k),\frac{β_n(a,k)}{1-k}\right)_{n\geq 1} \] be the \emph{derived} WP-Bailey pair. By considering a particular limiting case of a transformation due to George Andrews, we derive new basic hypergeometric summation and transformation formulae involving derived WP-Bailey pairs. We then use these formulae to derive new identities for various theta series/products which are expressible in terms of certain types of Lambert series.
In this article, we obtain a transformation formula for the higher power of odd zeta values, which generalizes Ramanujan's formula for odd zeta values. We have also investigated many important applications, which in turn provide generalizations of the transformation formula of the Eisenstein series, Dedekind eta function etc.
We analyze the mock modular behavior of $\bar{P}_ω(q)$, a partition function introduced by Andrews, Dixit, Schultz, and Yee. This function arose in a study of smallest parts functions related to classical third order mock theta functions, one of which is $ω(q)$. We find that the modular completion of $\bar{P}_ω(q)$ is not simply a harmonic Maass form, but is instead the derivative of a linear combination of products of various harmonic Maass forms and theta functions. We precisely describe its behavior under modular transformations and find that the image under the Maass lowering operator lies…
Through an application of a remarkable result due to Mishev in 2018 concerning the inverses for a class of transformations of sequences of complex numbers, we obtain a very simple proof for a famous series for $\frac{1}π$ due to Ramanujan. We then apply Mishev's transform to provide proofs for a number of related hypergeometric identities, including a new and simplified proof for a family of series for $\frac{1}π$ previously obtained by Levrie via Fourier--Legendre theory. We generalize this result using Mishev's transform, so as to extend a result due to Guillera on a Ramanujan-like series in…
This paper is concerned with a class of partition functions $a(n)$ introduced by Radu and defined in terms of eta-quotients. By utilizing the transformation laws of Newman, Schoeneberg and Robins, and Radu's algorithms, we present an algorithm to find Ramanujan-type identities for $a(mn+t)$. While this algorithm is not guaranteed to succeed, it applies to many cases. For example, we deduce a witness identity for $p(11n+6)$ with integer coefficients. Our algorithm also leads to Ramanujan-type identities for the overpartition functions $\overline{p}(5n+2)$ and $\overline{p}(5n+3)$ and Andrews--P…
