Abstract

Let AA be a r×rr\times r rational nonzero symmetric matrix, BB a rational column vector, CC a rational scalar. For any integer lattice LL and vector vv of Zr\mathbb{Z}^r, we define Nahm sum on the lattice coset v+LZr/Lv+L\in \mathbb{Z}^r/L: \begin{align*}\label{eq-lattice-sum} f_{A,B,C,v+L}(q):=\sum_{n=(n_1,\dots,n_r)^\mathrm{T} \in v+L} \frac{q^{\frac{1}{2}n^\mathrm{T} An+n^\mathrm{T} B+C}}{(q;q)_{n_1}\cdots (q;q)_{n_r}}. \end{align*} If LL is a full rank lattice and a proper subset of Zr\mathbb{Z}^r, then we call fA,B,C,v+L(q)f_{A,B,C,v+L}(q) a rank rr partial Nahm sum. When the rank r=1r=1, we find eight modular partial Nahm sums using some known identities. When the rank r=2r=2 and LL is one of the lattices Z(2,0)+Z(0,1)\mathbb{Z}(2,0)+\mathbb{Z}(0,1), Z(1,0)+Z(0,2)\mathbb{Z}(1,0)+\mathbb{Z}(0,2) or Z(2,0)+Z(0,2)\mathbb{Z}(2,0)+\mathbb{Z}(0,2), we find 14 types of symmetric matrices AA such that there exist vectors B,vB,v and scalars CC so that the partial Nahm sum fA,B,C,v+L(q)f_{A,B,C,v+L}(q) is modular. We establish Rogers--Ramanujan type identities for the corresponding partial Nahm sums which prove their modularity.
