Change of base in Bailey pairs

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

Versions of Bailey's lemma which change the base from q to q^2 or q^3 are given. Iterates of these versions give many new versions of multisum Rogers-Ramanujan identities. We also prove Melzer's conjectures for the Fermionic forms of the supersymmetric analogues of Virasoro characters.
