We prove for any such function $f(q)$ that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that for any odd integer $n>C$ the function $f(q)$ does vanish at the primitive $n$-th roots of unity. This leads us to conjecture that $f(q)$ does not vanish at the primitive $n$-th roots of unity for any odd positive integer $n$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-24T12:22:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "odd roots", "th roots", "odd integer", "odd order", "mock theta functions vanish" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
