Title Of Talk: The return of the mock theta functions
Abstract: The mock theta functions were originally introduced by Ramanujan in 1920, in his last lecture to G.H.Hardy. This talk traces the development of the subject from that time to the present, focus1ng on efforts to construct a general theory. In particular, recent work of R.J. McIntosh and the speaker on extensions of the mock theta (non-)conjectures and their application to modular group transformation theory is discussed.
