Andrews gave a remarkable interpretation of the Rogers–Ramanujan identities with the polynomials ρe(N,y,x,q), and it was noted that ρe(∞,−1,1,q) is the generation of the fifth-order mock theta functions. In the present investigation, several interesting types of generating functions for this q-polynomial using q-difference equations is deduced. Besides that, a generalization of Andrew’s result in form of a multilinear generating function for q-polynomials is also given. Moreover, we build a transformation identity involving the q-polynomials and Bailey transformation. As an application, we give some new Hecke-type identities. We observe that most of the parameters involved in our results are symmetric to each other. Our results are shown to be connected with several earlier works related to the field of our present investigation.

Recently, Andrews, Dixit and Yee introduced partition functions associated with Ramanujan/Watson third-order mock theta functions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we find several new exact generating functions for those partition functions as well as the associated smallest part functions and deduce several new congruences modulo powers of 5.

In 2005, using a famous lemma of Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer (Some properties of partitions, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 4 (1954), 84–106), Yesilyurt (Four identities related to third order mock theta functions in Ramanujan’s lost notebook, Adv. Math. 190 (2005), 278–299) proved four identities for third order mock theta functions found on pages 2 and 17 in Ramanujan’s lost notebook. The primary purpose of this paper is to offer new proofs in the spirit of what Ramanujan might have given in the hope that a better understanding of the identities might be gained. Third order mock theta functions are intimately connected with ranks of partitions. We prove new dissections for two rank generating functions, which are keys to our proof of the fourth, and the most difficult, of Ramanujan’s identities. In the last section of this paper, we establish new relations for ranks arising from our dissections of rank generating functions.

We introduce a statistic on overpartitions called the [Formula: see text]-rank. When there are no overlined parts, this coincides with the [Formula: see text]-rank of a partition introduced by Garvan. Moreover, it reduces to the D-rank of an overpartition when [Formula: see text]. The generating function for the [Formula: see text]-rank of overpartitions is given. We also establish a relation between the generating function of self-3-conjugate overpartitions and the tenth-order mock theta functions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

Ramanujan gave a list of seventeen functions which he called mock theta functions. For one of the third-order mock theta functions [Formula: see text], he claimed that as [Formula: see text] approaches an even order [Formula: see text] root of unity [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] He also pointed at the existence of similar properties for other mock theta functions. Recently, [J. Bajpai, S. Kimport, J. Liang, D. Ma and J. Ricci, Bilateral series and Ramanujan’s radial limits, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 143(2) (2014) 479–492] presented some similar Ramanujan radial limits of the fifth-order mock theta functions and their associated bilateral series are modular forms. In this paper, by using the substitution [Formula: see text] in the Ramanujan’s mock theta functions, some associated false theta functions in the sense of Rogers are obtained. Such functions can be regarded as Eichler integral of the vector-valued modular forms of weight [Formula: see text]. We find two associated bilateral series of the false theta functions with respect to the fifth-order mock theta functions are special modular forms. Furthermore, we explore that the other two associated bilateral series of the false theta functions with respect to the third-order mock theta functions are mock modular forms. As an application, the associated Ramanujan radial limits of the false theta functions are constructed.

In this paper, we first generalize Ramanujan’s partition identity derived from the fifth order mock theta functions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Then we establish Beck-type identities based on our general partition identity. All the results are proved both analytically and combinatorially.

An overpartition of [Formula: see text] is a partition of [Formula: see text] in which the first occurrence of a number may be overlined. Then, the rank of an overpartition is defined as its largest part minus its number of parts. Let [Formula: see text] be the number of overpartitions of [Formula: see text] with rank congruent to [Formula: see text] modulo [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study the rank differences of overpartitions [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Especially, we obtain some relations between the generating functions of the rank differences modulo [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and some mock theta functions. Furthermore, we derive some equalities and inequalities on ranks of overpartitions modulo [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
