A Bijective Proof of a False Theta Function Identity from Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook

Hannah E. Burson

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

In his lost notebook, Ramanujan listed five identities related to the false theta function: A new combinatorial interpretation and a proof of one of these identities are given. The methods of the proof allow for new multivariate generalizations of this identity. Additionally, the same technique can be used to obtain a combinatorial interpretation of another one of the identities.
