On the circular summation of the eleventh powers of Ramanujan's theta function (Q1293685)

Here is the abstract, followed by a statement of the main result: ``Let \(f(a,b)\) denote Ramanujan's theta series. In his ``Lost Notebook'', Ramanujan claimed that the ``circular'' summation of \(n\)th powers of \(f\) satisfies a factorization of the form \(f(a^n,b^n)F_n(a^nb^n)\) where \(F_n(q)= 1+2nq^{(n-1)/2}+\cdots\). Moreover, he listed explicit closed formulas for \(F_2\), \(F_3\), \(F_4\), \(F_5\), and \(F_7\). Berndt and Son have asked for a similar expression for any other \(F_n\). Here we obtain such an expression for \(F_{11}(q)\).'' Theorem. If \(p(N)\) denotes the usual partition function, then let \(P_{11}(q)\) denote the \(q\)-series \[ P_{11}(q):= \sum_{n=0}^\infty p(11n+6) q^{n+1}= 11q+ 297q^2+ 3718q^3+ 31185q^4+ 204226q^5+\cdots\;. \] Define the \(q\)-series \(A(q)\) and \(B(q)\) by \[ \begin{aligned} A(q):&= \sum_{n=1}^\infty\;\sum_{d\mid n} \Biggl( \frac{d}{11} \Biggr)\cdot \frac{n^4}{d^4}\cdot q^n= q+15q^2+ 82q^3+ 241q^4+ 626q^5+\cdots\;,\\ B(q):&= \sum_{\substack{ x,y\in\mathbb{Z}\\ x^2+ 11y^2\equiv 0\pmod 4}} \frac{(2x^4- 132x^2y^2+ 242y^4)} {64}\cdot q^{(x^2+11 y^2)/4}\\ &=q+7q^3+ 16q^4- 49q^5-\cdots\;.\end{aligned} \] In this notation, \(F_{11}(q)\) satisfies the identity \[ F_{11}(q)= \frac{f^{11}(-q)} {f(-q^{11})}+ 880q^5\cdot \frac{f^{11}(-q^{11})} {f(-q)}- 9P_{11}(q) f^{11}(-q)+ \frac{308}{3} A(q)+ \frac{22}{3} B(q). \]
