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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-04T16:57:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F11" ], "keywords": [ "dirichlet beta function", "deligne determine asymptotic formulas", "riemann zeta function", "generalizes evaluations", "infinite class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
