Strong $q$-analogues for values of the Dirichlet beta function

Ankush Goswami, Timothy Huber

Published 2023-05-04Version 1

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 $q\to 1^{-}$ and explicit evaluations at CM points for $|q|<1$. Inequalities of Deligne determine asymptotic formulas for the Fourier coefficients of the associated modular forms.
