Zeros of the deformed exponential function

Abstract: Let

f (x) = s u m_{n = 0}^{i n f t y} f r a c 1 n! q^{n (n - 1) / 2} x^{n}

(

0 < q < 1

) be the deformed exponential function. It is known that the zeros of

f (x)

are real and form a negative decreasing sequence

(x_{k})

(

k g e 1

). We investigate the complete asymptotic expansion for

x_{k}

and prove that for any

n g e 1

, as

k o i n f t y

, �egin{align*} x_k=-kq^{1-k}Big(1+sum_{i=1}^{n}C_i(q)k^{-1-i}+o(k^{-1-n})Big), end{align*} where

C_{i} (q)

are some

q

series which can be determined recursively. We show that each

C_{i} (q) i n m a t h b b Q [A_{0}, A_{1}, A_{2}]

, where

A_{i} = s u m_{m = 1}^{i n f t y} m^{i} s i g m a (m) q^{m}

and

s i g m a (m)

denotes the sum of positive divisors of

m

. When writing

C_{i}

as a polynomial in

A_{0}, A_{1}

and

A_{2}

, we find explicit formulas for the coefficients of the linear terms by using Bernoulli numbers. Moreover, we also prove that

C_{i} (q) i n m a t h b b Q [E_{2}, E_{4}, E_{6}]

, where

E_{2}

,

E_{4}

and

E_{6}

are the classical Eisenstein series of weight 2, 4 and 6, respectively.
