Koshliakov’s Formula and Guinand’s Formula in Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook
نویسندگان
چکیده
On two pages in his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded several theorems involving the modified Bessel function Kν(z). These include Koshliakov’s formula and Guinand’s formula, both connected with the functional equation of nonanalytic Eisenstein series, and both discovered by these authors several years after Ramanujan’s death. Other formulas, including one by K. Soni and two particularly elegant new results, are stated without proof by Ramanujan. In this paper, we prove all the formulas claimed by Ramanujan on these two pages.

A Transformation Formula Involving the Gamma and Riemann Zeta Functions in Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook
Pages 219–227 in the volume [15] containing Ramanujan’s lost notebook are devoted to material “Copied from the Loose Papers.” We emphasize that these pages are not part of the original lost notebook found by George Andrews at Trinity College Library, Cambridge in the spring of 1976. These “loose papers”, in the handwriting of G.N. Watson, are found in the Oxford University Library, and evidentl...
متن کاملQuestionable Claims Found in Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook
Recall that Ramanujan’s lost notebook [27] was written in the last year of his life. We can forgive him if, in his insufferable pain, not everything he wrote down was correct. The purpose of this paper is to examine some of these questionable results. In particular, we concentrate on three “identities” found on pages 335 and 336 in [27]. At the close of this paper, we briefly mention some furth...
متن کاملON RAMANUJAN ’ S CONTINUED FRACTION FOR ( q 2 ; q 3 ) ∞ / ( q ; q 3 ) ∞
The continued fraction in the title is perhaps the deepest of Ramanujan’s q-continued fractions. We give a new proof of this continued fraction, more elementary and shorter than the only known proof by Andrews, Berndt, Jacobsen, and Lamphere. On page 45 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan states an asymptotic formula for a continued fraction generalizing that in the title. The second main goal of t...
متن کاملRamanujan’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 کاملIntegrals of Eisenstein Series and Derivatives of L-functions
In his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded a formula relating a “character analogue” of the Dedekind eta-function, the integral of a quotient of eta-functions, and the value of a Dirichlet Lfunction at s = 2. Here we derive an infinite family of formulas which includes Ramanujan’s original formula as a special case. Our results depend on a representation of values of the derivatives of Dirichlet ...
