Mock modular form

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. Sander Zwegers discovered that adding certain non-holomorphic functions to them turns them into harmonic weak Maass forms. (Wikipedia).

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We introduce modular forms, and give several examples of how they were used to solve problems in apparently unrelated areas of mathematics. I will not be following any particular book, but if anyone wants a suggestion

Modular forms: Eisenstein series

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We give two ways of looking at modular forms: as functions of lattices in C, or as invariant forms. We use this to give two different ways of constructing Eisenstein series. For the other lectures in the course see http

Modular forms: Classification

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We first show that the number of zeros of a (level 1 holomorphic) modular form in a fundamental domain is weight/12, and use this to show that the graded ring of modular forms is the ring of polynomials in E4 and E6. Fo

Modular forms: Modular functions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We classify all meromorphic modular functions, showing that they are all rational functions of the elliptic modular function j. As an application of j we use it to prove Picard's theorem that a non-constant meromorphic

Modular forms: Theta functions in higher dimensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We study theta functions of even unimodular lattices, such as the root lattice of the E8 exceptional Lie algebra. As examples we show that one cannot "her the shape of a drum", and calculate the number of minimal vectors
