A family of mock theta functions of weights 1/2 and 3/2 and their congruence properties
René Olivetto
Abstract:In a private communication, K. Ono conjectured that any mock theta function of weight 1/2 or 3/2 can be congruent modulo a prime p to a weakly holomorphic modular form for just a few values of p. In this paper we describe when such a congruence occurs. More precisely we show that it depends on the p-adic valuation of the mock theta function itself. In order to do so, we construct a family of mock theta functions in terms of derivatives of the Appell sum, which have a special Fourier expansion at infinity.
