In 1944, Freeman Dyson initiated the study of ranks of integer partitions. Here we solve the classical problem of obtaining formulas for Ne(n) (resp. No(n)), the number of partitions of n with even (resp. odd) rank. Thanks to Rademacher’s celebrated formula for the partition function, this problem is equivalent to that of obtaining a formula for the coefficients of the mock theta function f(q), a problem with its own long history dating to Ramanujan’s last letter to Hardy. Little was known…

A Survey of Classical Mock Theta Functions
In his last letter to Hardy, Ramanujan defined 17 functions M(q), | q | < 1, which he called mock θ-functions. He observed that as q radially approaches any root of unity ζ at which M(q) has an…

THE COEFFICIENTS OF THE ω(q) MOCK THETA FUNCTION
In 1920, Ramanujan wrote to Hardy about his discovery of the mock theta functions. In the years since, there has been much work in understanding the transformation properties and asymptotic nature of…
Effective Congruences for Mock Theta Functions
Let M(q) =∑ c(n)q n be one of Ramanujan’s mock theta functions. We establish the existence of infinitely many linear congruences of the form: c(An + B) ≡ 0 (mod l j ) where A is a multiple of l and…
Weak Maaß forms and $({\mathfrak{g}},K)$-modules
Harmonic weak Maaß forms have recently been shown to have quite a few interesting arithmetic applications, including their connection to Ramanujan’s work on (mock) theta functions (Bringmann and Ono…
Maass forms and the mock theta function f(q)
Let $$f(q):=1+\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } \alpha (n)q^n$$f(q):=1+∑n=1∞α(n)qn be the well-known third order mock theta of Ramanujan. In 1964, George Andrews proved an asymptotic formula of the form…

Moduli spaces of stable coherent sheaves on a surface are of much interest for both mathematics and physics. Yoshioka computed generating functions of Poincare poly- nomials of such moduli spaces if…
Some Relations on Sixth Order Mock Theta Functions
During the last years of his life, Ramanujan defined 17 functions F(q), where | q | < 1. Ramanujan named them as mock theta functions, because as q radially approaches any point e 2∏iΓ (r rational),…
Properties of Lerch Sums and Ramanujan's Mock Theta Functions.
In this article we study properties of Ramanujan's mock theta functions that can be expressed in Lerch sums. We mainly show that each Lerch sum is actually the integral of a Jacobian theta function…
Asymptotic formulas related to the $$M_2$$-rank of partitions without repeated odd parts
We give asymptotic expansions for the moments of the $M_2$-rank generating function and for the $M_2$-rank generating function at roots of unity. For this we apply the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method…

On the seventh order mock theta functions
In a recent paper [H], we proved the "Mock Theta Conjectures". These are identities, stated by Ramanujan in his "lost notebook" JR2, pp. 19-20], involving two of the 5th order mock 0-functions. In…

TLDR
The object now is to develop the subject intrinsically to both provide deeper understanding of the theory and application of partitions and reveal the surprising role of Ramanujan's mock theta functions.
