Let ζN=e2πi/N. Hikami's conjecture. For any m≥2 and 0≤a≤m−2, the radial limit satisfies
q→ζNlimΦm(a)(q)=ζN4m(m−a−1)2Ym,N(a)(ζN).
False theta functions have well-defined radial limits at roots of unity, and these limits give quantum modular forms. The paper proves this conjecture, so its status is solved.
