Title:
Three Avatars of Mock Modularity

Speaker:
Atish Dabholkar

Abstract:
Mock theta functions were introduced by Ramanujan in his famous last letter to Hardy in 1920 but were properly understood only recently with the work of Zwegers in 2002. I will describe three manifestations of this apparently exotic mathematics in three important physical contexts of holography, topology and duality where mock modularity has come to play in important role.
