Superimposing theta structure on a generalized modular relation: By a modular relation for a certain function $F$ , we mean a relation governed by the map $z \to -1/z$ but not necessarily by $z \to z+1$. Equivalently, the relation can be written in the form $F(\alpha) = F(\eta)$, where $\alpha\eta = 1$. There are many generalized modular relations in the literature such as the general theta transformation of the form $F(w, \alpha) = F (iw, \eta)$ or the Ramanujan-Guinand formula of the form $F (z, \alpha) = F (z, \eta)$ etc. The latter, equivalent to the functional equation of the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series on $SL_2(Z)$, admits a beautiful generalization of the form $F(z,w,\alpha) = F(z,iw,\eta)$ obtained by Kesarwani, Moll and the speaker, that is, one can superimpose theta structure on it.

In 2011, the speaker obtained a generalized modular relation involving infinite series of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(z,a)$. It generalizes a result of Ramanujan from the Lost Notebook. Can one superimpose theta structure on the generalized modular relation?
