RaduRK

RaduRK: Ramanujan-Kolberg Program

Authors

Nicolas Smoot
RaduRK is a Mathematica implementation of an algorithm developed by Cristian-Silviu Radu. The algorithm takes as input an arithmetic sequence a(n) generated from a large class of q-Pochhammer quotients, together with a given arithmetic progression mn+j, and the level of a given congruence subgroup. The algorithm produces expressions for the generating function of a(mn+j) in terms of Q-linear combinations of Dedekind eta quotients which are modular over the subgroup. Identities of this form include famous results by Ramanujan which demonstrate the divisibility properties of p(5n+4) and p(7n+5). The algorithm relies on certain powerful finiteness conditions imposed by the study of modular functions, and illustrates the utility of the subject to computational number theory. The package has been developed by Nicolas Allen Smoot.
