Mollified Moments of Cubic Dirichlet L-Functions over the Eisenstein Field

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) that there is a positive density of $L$-functions associated with primitive cubic Dirichlet characters over the Eisenstein field that do not vanish at the central point $s=1/2$. This is achieved by computing the first mollified moment, which is obtained unconditionally, and finding a sharp upper bound for the higher mollified moments for these $L$-functions, under GRH. The proportion of non-vanishing is explicit, but extremely small.

On Rogers-Ramanujan functions, binary quadratic forms and eta-quotients

In a handwritten manuscript published with his lost notebook, Ramanujan stated without proofs forty identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan functions. We observe that the functions that appear in Ramanujan's identities can be obtained from a Hecke action on a certain family of eta products. We establish further Hecke-type relations for these functions involving binary quadratic forms. Our observations enable us to find new identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan functions and also to use such identities in turn to find identities involving binary quadratic forms.

On the representations of integers by the sextenary quadratic form x^2+y^2+z^2+ 7s^2+7t^2+ 7u^2 and 7-cores

In this paper we derive an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer by the sextenary form x^2+y^2+z^2+ 7s^2+7t^2+ 7u^2. We establish the following intriguing inequalities 2b(n)>=a_7(n)>=b(n) for n not equal to 0,2,6,16. Here a_7(n) is the number of partitions of n that are 7-cores and b(n) is the number of representations of n+2 by the sextenary form (x ^2+ y ^2+z ^2+ 7s ^2 + 7t ^2+ 7u^2)/8 with x,y,z,s,t and u being odd.

New Identities for 7-cores with prescribed BG-rank

A q-series with nonnegative power series coefficients is called positive. The partition statistics BG-rank is defined as an alternating sum of parities of parts of a partition. It is known that the generating function for the number of partitions of n that are 7-cores with given BG-rank can be written as certain sum of multi-theta functions. We give explicit representations for these generating functions in terms of sums of positive eta-quotients and derive inequalities for the their coefficients. New identities for the generating function of unrestricted 7-cores and inequalities for their coefficients are also obtained. Our proofs utilize Ramanujan's theory of modular equations.

Ramanujan's Identities and Representation of Integers by Certain Binary and Quaternary Quadratic Forms

We revisit old conjectures of Fermat and Euler regarding representation of integers by binary quadratic form x^2+5y^2. Making use of Ramanujan's_1ψ_1 summation formula we establish a new Lambert series identity for \sum_{n,m=-\infty}^{\infty} q^{n^2+5m^2}. Conjectures of Fermat and Euler are shown to follow easily from this new formula. But we don't stop there. Employing various formulas found in Ramanujan's notebooks and using a bit of ingenuity we obtaina collection of new Lambert series for certain infinite products associated with quadratic forms such as x^2+6y^2, 2x^2+3y^2, x^2+15y^2, 3x^2+5y^2, x^2+27y^2, x^2+5(y^2+ z^2+ w^2), 5x^2+y^2+ z^2+ w^2. In the process, we find many new multiplicative eta-quotients and determine their coefficients.

Shifted and Shiftless Partition Identities II

Let S and T be sets of positive integers and let a be a fixed positive integer. An a-shifted partition identity has the form p(S,n)=p(T,n-a), for all n greater or equal to a. Here p(S,n) is the number partitions of n whose parts are elements of S. For all known nontrivial shifted partition identities, the sets S and T are unions of arithmetic progressions modulo M for some M. In 1987, Andrews found two 1-shifted examples (M=32, 40) and asked whether there were any more. In 1989, Kalvade responded with a further six. In 2000, the first author found 59 new 1-shifted identities using a computer search and showed how these could be proved using the theory of modular functions. Modular transformation of certain shifted identities leads to shiftless partition identities. Again let a be a fixed positive integer, and S, T be distinct sets of positive integers. A shiftless partition identity has the form p(S,n)=p(T,n), for all n not equal to a. In this paper, we show, except in one case, how all known 1-shifted and shiftless identities follow from a four parameter theta function identity due to Jacobi. New shifted and shiftless partition identities are proved.
