Strong q-analogues for values of the Dirichlet beta function

Publication date: 4 May 2023

Abstract: An infinite class of relations between modular forms is constructed that generalizes evaluations of the Dirichlet beta function at odd positive integers. The work is motivated by a base case appearing in Ramanujan's Notebooks and a parallel construction for the Riemann zeta function. The identities are shown to be strong

q

-analogues by virtue of their reduction to the classical beta evaluations as

q o 1^{-}

and explicit evaluations at CM points for

| q | < 1

. Inequalities of Deligne determine asymptotic formulas for the Fourier coefficients of the associated modular forms.
