Several new product identities in relation to two-variable Rogers-Ramanujan type sums and mock theta functions
Product identities in two variables $x, q$ expand infinite products as infinite sums, which are linear combinations of theta functions; famous examples include Jacobi's triple product identity,
Universal mock theta functions and two-variable Hecke–Rogers identities
We obtain two-variable Hecke–Rogers identities for three universal mock theta functions. This implies that many of Ramanujan’s mock theta functions, including all the third-order functions, have a

We show that the Zagier–Eisenstein series shares its nonholomorphic part with certain weak Maass forms whose holomorphic parts are generating functions for overpartition rank differences. This has a
Dyson’s rank, overpartitions, and universal mock theta functions
Abstract In this paper, we decompose $\overline {D}(a,M)$ into modular and mock modular parts, so that it gives as a straightforward consequencethe celebrated results of Bringmann and Lovejoy on

At the 1987 Ramanujan Centenary meeting Dyson asked for a coherent group-theoretical structure for Ramanujan's mock theta functions analogous to Hecke's theory of modular forms. Many of Ramanujan's
Eulerian series as Modular forms revisited
Recently, Bringmann, Ono, and Rhoades employed harmonic weak Maass forms to prove results on Eulerian series as modular forms. By changing the setting to Appell--Lerch sums, we shorten the proof of
A partition identity and the universal mock theta function $g_2$

We prove analytic and combinatorial identities reminiscent of Schur's classical partition theorem. Specifically, we show that certain families of overpartitions whose parts satisfy gap conditions are
The H and K Family of Mock Theta Functions
Abstract In his last letter to Hardy, Ramanujan defined 17 functions $F\left( q \right),\,\left| q \right|\,<\,1$ , which he called mock $\theta$ -functions. He observed that as $q$ radially
Modular Transformations of Ramanujan's Fifth and Seventh Order Mock Theta Functions
• Mathematics
• 2003
In his last letter to Hardy, Ramanujan defined 17 functions F(q), where |q| < 1. He called them mock theta functions, because as q radially approaches any point e2πir (r rational), there is a theta
ON THE TENTH-ORDER MOCK THETA FUNCTIONS
Using properties of Appell–Lerch functions, we give insightful proofs for six of Ramanujan’s identities for the tenth-order mock theta functions.
