An extension of Macdonald's identity for $\mathfrak{sl}_n$

Abstract

Let nn be an odd positive integer. In this short elementary note, we slightly extend Macdonald's identity for sln\mathfrak{sl}_{n} into a two-variables identity in the spirit of Jacobi forms. The peculiarity of this work lies in its proof which uses Wronskians of vector-valued θ\theta-functions. This complements the work of A. Milas towards modular Wronskians and denominator identities.
