Abstract

In this work, we develop new Bailey pairs for the pentagon identity satisfied by the tetrahedron index, expressible in terms of qq-series. Since the tetrahedron index underlies topological invariants of 3-manifolds and related knots, our construction may offer a new framework to deriving knot invariants through the Bailey chain.
