In mathematics, the Ramanujan conjecture, due to Srinivasa Ramanujan (1916, p. 176), states that Ramanujan's tau function given by the Fourier coefficients τ(n) of the cusp form Δ(z) of weight 12 Δ ( z ) = ∑ n > 0 τ ( n ) q n = q ∏ n > 0 ( 1 − q n ) 24 = q − 24 q 2 + 252 q 3 − 1472 q 4 + 4830 q 5 − ⋯ , {\displaystyle \Delta (z ...
Ramanujan (1916) observed, but did not prove, the following three properties of τ(n): τ(mn) = τ(m)τ(n) if gcd(m,n) = 1 (meaning that τ(n) is a multiplicative function); τ(p r + 1) = τ(p)τ(p r) − p 11 τ(p r − 1) for p prime and r > 0.
In mathematics, a mock modular form is the holomorphic part of a harmonic weak Maass form, and a mock theta function is essentially a mock modular form of weight 1 / 2 . The first examples of mock theta functions were described by Srinivasa Ramanujan in his last 1920 letter to G. H. Hardy and in his lost notebook .
In mathematics, a modular form is a (complex) analytic function on the upper half-plane, , that roughly satisfies a functional equation with respect to the group action of the modular group and a growth condition. The theory of modular forms has origins in complex analysis, with important connections with number theory.
In mathematics, a Ramanujan–Sato series [1] [2] generalizes Ramanujan’s pi formulas such as, = = ()!! + to the form = = + by using other well-defined sequences of integers obeying a certain recurrence relation, sequences which may be expressed in terms of binomial coefficients (), and ,, employing modular forms of higher levels.

In mathematics, in particular in the theory of modular forms, a Hecke operator, studied by Erich Hecke (1937a,1937b), is a certain kind of "averaging" operator that plays a significant role in the structure of vector spaces of modular forms and more general automorphic representations.
For example, the Ramanujan tau function τ(n) arises as the sequence of Fourier coefficients of the cusp form of weight 12 for the modular group, with a 1 = 1. The space of such forms has dimension 1, which means this definition is possible; and that accounts for the action of Hecke operators on the space being by scalar multiplication (Mordell ...
