The Bailey Chain and Mock Theta Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Standard applications of the Bailey chain preserve mixed mock modularity but not mock modularity. After illustrating this with some examples, we show how to use a change of base in Bailey pairs due to Bressoud, Ismail and Stanton to explicitly construct families of q-hypergeometric multisums which are mock theta functions. We also prove identities involving some of these multisums and certain classical mock theta functions.

Bailey Pairs With Free Parameters, Mock Theta Functions and Tubular Partitions
This study began in an effort to find a simpler derivation of the Bailey pairs associated with the seventh order mock theta functions. It is shown that the introduction of a new parameter independent of both a and q leads to a much simpler treatment. It is noted that a previous treatment of the central fifth order mock theta function inadvertently uses this approach. The paper concludes by appl...
متن کاملq-HYPERGEOMETRIC DOUBLE SUMS AS MOCK THETA FUNCTIONS
Recently, Bringmann and Kane established two new Bailey pairs and used them to relate certain q-hypergeometric series to real quadratic fields. We show how these pairs give rise to new mock theta functions in the form of q-hypergeometric double sums. Additionally, we prove an identity between one of these sums and two classical mock theta functions introduced by Gordon and McIntosh.
متن کاملBailey Pairs and Indefinite Quadratic Forms
We construct classes of Bailey pairs where the exponent of q in αn is an indefinite quadratic form. As an application we obtain families of q-hypergeometric mock theta multisums.

We show that all of Ramanujan’s mock theta functions of order 3, Watson’s three additional mock theta functions of order 3, the RogersRamanujan q-series, and 6 mock theta functions of order 5 take on irrational values at the points q = ±1/2,±1/3,±1/4, . . . .
متن کاملOn Two Fifth Order Mock Theta Functions
We consider the fifth order mock theta functions χ0 and χ1, defined by Ramanujan, and find identities for these functions, which relate them to indefinite theta functions. Similar identities have been found by Andrews for the other fifth order mock theta functions and the seventh order functions.
