Abstract

Quite recently, the first author investigated vanishing coefficients of the arithmetic progressions in several qq-series expansions. In this paper, we further study the signs of coefficients in two qq-series expansions and establish some arithmetic relations for several qq-series expansions by means of Ramanujan's theta functions. We obtain the 5-dissections of these two qq-series and give combinatorial interpretations for these dissections. Moreover, we obtain four qq-series identities involving the aforementioned qq-series, two of which were proved by Kim and Toh via modular forms.
