Key Points

  • The aim is to classify Ramanujan's mock theta functions using block ratios and identify key properties.
  • Conducted an exact-arithmetic census of twenty-four canonical mock theta functions at roots of unity.
  • Developed a block-ratio lemma to categorize series into four classes.
  • Utilized exact power-basis arithmetic with a comprehensive Python code for verification.
  • Identified a finite identity at every odd level: phi^(3)(-zeta) = f(zeta)/2.
  • Five functions were singular at every root of unity, indicating significant obstructions.
  • Presented two new half-range false-theta representations verified at all tested primes.

Abstract

An exact-arithmetic census of the twenty-four canonical mock theta functions of orders 3, 5, 7 and 10 at roots of unity, in two complementary channels: odd prime order, and order congruent to 2 modulo 4. A block-ratio lemma sorts every boundary series into one of four mutually exclusive classes — regular, terminating, divergent, or singular — identifying exactly which finite blocks admit coordinate arithmetic. Principal results: (i) a finite identity valid at every odd level, giving phi^ (3) (-zeta) = f (zeta) /2; (ii) five functions are singular at every root of unity, a hard obstruction; (iii) an exact discriminant channel theorem with the sharp nondegeneracy condition p does not divide a (a-2) (a+2) ; (iv) two new half-range false-theta representations, for phi^ (3) and for Watson's nu, verified exactly at every prime tested, from which a four-fibre count reproduces the Legendre-symbol coordinate law for phi^ (3). All computational assertions use exact power-basis arithmetic and integer resultants; no floating-point calculation enters any claim. The package contains the full Lean 4 / Mathlib development (no custom axioms; axiom audit reports only propext, Classical. choice and Quot. sound), the complete exact-arithmetic Python reproduction code, and a single command that regenerates every table and re-checks every displayed identity. This version corrects several results announced in an earlier preprint; see CORRECTIONS. md and Section 11 of the manuscript.
