Mock modular forms and geometric theta functions for indefinite quadratic forms
نویسنده
چکیده
Mock modular forms are central objects in the recent discoveries of new instances of Moonshine. In this paper, we discuss the construction of mixed mock modular forms via integrals of theta series associated to indefinite quadratic forms. In particular, in this geometric setting, we realize Zwegers’ mock theta functions of type ( p, 1) as line integrals in hyperbolic p-space.

Theta Functions of Indefinite Quadratic Forms over Real Number Fields
We define theta functions attached to indefinite quadratic forms over real number fields and prove that these theta functions are Hilbert modular forms by regarding them as specializations of symplectic theta functions. The eighth root of unity which arises under modular transformations is determined explicitly.
متن کاملTheta functions of quadratic forms over imaginary quadratic fields
is a modular form of weight n/2 on Γ0(N), where N is the level of Q, i.e. NQ−1 is integral and NQ−1 has even diagonal entries. This was proved by Schoeneberg [5] for even n and by Pfetzer [3] for odd n. Shimura [6] uses the Poisson summation formula to generalize their results for arbitrary n and he also computes the theta multiplier explicitly. Stark [8] gives a different proof by converting θ...
متن کاملOn the modularity of certain functions from the Gromov–Witten theory of elliptic orbifolds
In this paper, we study modularity of several functions which naturally arose in a recent paper of Lau and Zhou on open Gromov-Witten potentials of elliptic orbifolds. They derived a number of examples of indefinite theta functions, and we provide modular completions for several such functions which involve more complicated objects than ordinary modular forms. In particular, we give new closed ...
متن کاملCoefficients 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...
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.
