General Multi-sum Transformations and Some Implications

Number Theory 2019-01-09 v1

Abstract

We give two general transformations that allows certain quite general basic hypergeometric multi-sums of arbitrary depth (sums that involve an arbitrary sequence {g(k)}\{g(k)\}), to be reduced to an infinite qq-product times a single basic hypergeometric sum. Various applications are given, including summation formulae for some qq orthogonal polynomials, and various multi-sums that are expressible as infinite products.
