Twisted Eisenstein series, cotangent‐zeta sums, and quantum modular forms

Abstract

We define twisted Eisenstein series Es±(h,k;τ) for s∈C , and show how their associated period functions, initially defined on the upper half complex plane H , have analytic continuation to all of C′:=C∖R⩽0 . We also use this result, as well as properties of various zeta functions, to show that certain cotangent‐zeta sums behave like quantum modular forms of (complex) weight s .
