Historical Remark on Ramanujan′s Tau Function

چکیده
It is shown that Ramanujan could have proved a special case of his conjecture that his tau function is multiplicative without any recourse to modularity results.

Euler Products in Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook
In his famous paper, “On certain arithmetical functions”, Ramanujan offers for the first time the Euler product of the Dirichlet series in which the coefficients are given by Ramanujan’s tau-function. In his lost notebook, Ramanujan records further Euler products for L-series attached to modular forms, and, typically, does not record proofs for these claims. In this semi-expository article, for...
متن کاملCombinatorial Interpretations of Ramanujan’s Tau Function
We use a q-series identity by Ramanujan to give a combinatorial interpretation of Ramanujan’s tau function which involves t-cores and a new class of partitions which we call (m, k)-capsids. The same method can be applied in conjunction with other related identities yielding alternative combinatorial interpretations of the tau function.
متن کاملIdentities for the Ramanujan Zeta Function
We prove formulas for special values of the Ramanujan tau zeta function. Our formulas show that L(∆, k) is a period in the sense of Kontsevich and Zagier when k ≥ 12. As an illustration, we reduce L(∆, k) to explicit integrals of hypergeometric and algebraic functions when k ∈ {12, 13, 14, 15}.
متن کاملThe Chief Accountant and Mathematical Friend of Ramanujan - S. Narayana Aiyar
S. Narayana Aiyar was chief accountant at the Madras Port Trust office, where Ramanujan worked as a clerk in 1912–1914. In this article, a short biography of S. Narayana Aiyar is given, his mathematical contributions are discussed, and his personal and mathematical relationships with Ramanujan are examined and emphasized. 1. Introducing S. Naryana Aiyar In June 2009, the author had the privileg...
متن کاملAbstract structure of partial function $*$-algebras over semi-direct product of locally compact groups
This article presents a unified approach to the abstract notions of partial convolution and involution in $L^p$-function spaces over semi-direct product of locally compact groups. Let $H$ and $K$ be locally compact groups and $tau:Hto Aut(K)$ be a continuous homomorphism. Let $G_tau=Hltimes_tau K$ be the semi-direct product of $H$ and $K$ with respect to $tau$. We define left and right $tau$-c...
