The Bailey Transform and False Theta Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
An empirical exploration of five of Ramanujan’s intriguing false theta function identities leads to unexpected instances of Bailey’s transform which, in turn, lead to many new identities for both false and partial theta functions.

The Bailey Chain and Mock Theta Functions
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 c...
متن کاملSome implications of Chu ’ s 10 ψ 10 extension of Bailey ’ s 6 ψ 6 summation formula
Lucy Slater used Bailey’s 6ψ6 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 10ψ10 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. I...
متن کاملBailey 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 کاملFALSE, PARTIAL, AND MOCK JACOBI THETA FUNCTIONS AS q-HYPERGEOMETRIC SERIES
to add 1. Curious q-series Identities Since Rogers [32] introduced the false theta functions, they have played a curious role in the theory of partitions (see for instance [1, 2, 12]). Andrews [3] defined a false theta function as any series of the shape ∑ n∈Z(±1)q 2+`n that has different signs for the nonzero terms. For example, Rogers proved (1.1) ∑ j≥0 q j(3j+1) 2 − ∑ j≤−1 q j(3j+1) 2 = ∑ j≥...
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.
