Ramanujan and Euler: Partitions, mock theta functions, and q-series

Ramanujan and Euler: Partitions, mock theta functions, and q-series

Partitions is a branch of number theory initiated by Leonard Euler. After Euler the subject has been developed by many mathematicians such as Gauss, Jacobi, Schur, MacMahon, Hardy, Ramanujan, Andrews, Ono, etc. Mock theta functions, an important variants of theta functions, were discovered by the Indian mathematician Ramanujan in the early 20th century. The field of partitions is a proving ground where one tests the latest techniques from q-series and (mock) modularity. The topics of the conferences include but are not limited to the latest developments in q-series, partitions, modular forms, mock modular forms, and quantum modular forms.
