A generalized Bailey pair, which contains several special cases considered by Bailey (\emph{Proc. London Math. Soc. (2)}, 50 (1949), 421--435), is derived and used to find a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Consideration of…
We give several expansion and identities involving the Ramanujan function $A_q$ and the Stieltjes--Wigert polynomials. Special values of our idenitities give $m$-versions of some of the items on the Slater list of Rogers-Ramanujan type…
We derive two new generalizations of the Busche-Ramanujan identities involving the multiple Dirichlet convolution of arithmetic functions of several variables. The proofs use formal multiple Dirichlet series and properties of symmetric…
We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then…
We give a simple proof and a multivariable generalization of an identity due to E. Alkan concerning a weighted average of the Ramanujan sums. We deduce identities for other weighted averages of the Ramanujan sums with weights concerning…
We prove two new summation formulae of Hall-Littlewood polynomials over partitions into bounded parts and derive some new multiple $q$-identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type.
It is shown that (two-variable generalizations of) more than half of Slater's list of 130 Rogers-Ramanujan identities (L. J. Slater, Further identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type, \emph{Proc. London Math Soc. (2)} \textbf{54} (1952),…
Here we consider the $q$-series coming from the Hall-Littlewood polynomials, \begin{equation*} R_\nu(a,b;q)=\sum_{\substack{\lambda \\[1pt] \lambda_1\leq a}} q^{c|\lambda|} P_{2\lambda}\big(1,q,q^2,\dots;q^{2b+d}\big). \end{equation*} These…
On page 206 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded an incomplete septic theta function identity. Motivated by the completion of this identity by the second author, we offer cubic and quintic analogues. Using the theory generated by these…
We prove a general alternate circular summation formula of theta functions, which implies a great deal of theta-function identities. In particular, we recover several identities in Ramanujan's Notebook from this identity. We also obtain two…
We present two general finite extensions for each of the two Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Of these one can be derived directly from Watson's transformation formula by specialization or through Bailey's method, the second similar formula can…
We prove q-analogues of two Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ from $q$-analogues of ordinary WZ pairs.
We deduce new q-series identities by applying inverse relations to certain identities for basic hypergeometric series. The identities obtained themselves do not belong to the hierarchy of basic hypergeometric series. We extend two of our…
We prove four new Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities for double series. They follow from the classical Rogers-Ramanujan identities using the constant term method and properties of Rogers-Szeg\H{o} polynomials.
The Rogers-Ramanujan identities have been studied from the viewpoints of combinatorics, number theory, affine Lie algebras, statistical mechanics, and quantum field theory. This note connects the Rogers-Ramanujan identities with the finite…
We study an elementary series that can be considered a relative of a series studied by Ramanujan in Part 1 of his Lost Notebooks. We derive a closed form for this series in terms of the inverse hyperbolic arctangent and the polylogarithm.…
We define two finite q-analogs of certain multiple harmonic series with an arbitrary number of free parameters, and prove identities for these q-analogs, expressing them in terms of multiply nested sums involving the Gaussian binomial…
We give simple elementary proofs of Bressoud's and Schur's polynomial versions of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities
Many classical $q$-series identities, such as the Rogers--Ramanujan identities, yield combinatorial interpretations in terms of integer partitions. Here we consider algebraically manipulating some of the classical $q$-series to yield…
We prove two partition identities which are dual to the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. These identities are inspired by (and proved using) a correspondence between three kinds of objects: a new type of partitions (neighborly partitions),…
