چکیده

The purpose of this paper is to use indefinite theta functions to explain and generalize an example of a Maass waveform which was constructed by Cohen from two functions σ and σ∗, studied by Andrews, Dyson and Hickerson. For this, we construct certain functions attached to an indefinite binary quadratic form and show that they are “nearly” Maass waveforms. In certain special cases we obtain actual Maass waveforms.

Action of Hecke Operators on Maass Theta Series and Zeta Functions

The introductory part contains definitions and basic properties of harmonic theta series, Siegel modular forms, and Hecke operators. Then the transformation formulas are recalled, related to the action of modular substitutions and regular Hecke operators on general harmonic theta series, including specialization to the case of Maass theta series. The following new results are obtained: construc...

Computation of Harmonic Weak Maass Forms

Harmonic weak Maass forms of half-integral weight are the subject of many recent works. They are closely related to Ramanujan’s mock theta functions, their theta lifts give rise to Arakelov Green functions, and their coefficients are often related to central values and derivatives of Hecke L-functions. We present an algorithm to compute harmonic weak Maass forms numerically, based on the automo...

Lifting Elliptic Cusp Forms to Maass Forms with an Application to Partitions

Abstract. For 2 < k ∈ 1 2 Z, we define lifts of cuspidal Poincaré series in Sk(Γ0(N)) to weight 2 − k harmonic weak Maass forms. This construction answers a question of Dyson by providing the general framework “explaining” Ramanujan’s mock theta functions. As an application, we show that the number of partitions of a positive integer n is the “trace” of singular moduli of a Maass form arising f...

Lifting cusp forms to Maass forms with an application to partitions.

For 2 < k [abstract: see text] we define lifts of cuspidal Poincaré series in S(k)(Gamma(0)(N)) to weight 2 - k harmonic weak Maass forms. This construction answers a question of Dyson by providing the general framework "explaining" Ramanujan's mock theta functions. As an application, we show that the number of partitions of a positive integer n is the "trace" of singular moduli of a Maass form...

Coefficients of Harmonic Maass Forms

Harmonic Maass forms have recently been related to many different topics in number theory: Ramanujan’s mock theta functions, Dyson’s rank generating functions, Borcherds products, and central values and derivatives of quadratic twists of modular L-functions. Motivated by these connections, we obtain exact formulas for the coefficients of harmonic Maass forms of non-positive weight, and we obtai...
