We consider a special case of a WP-Bailey chain of George Andrews, and use it to derive a number of curious transformations of basic hypergeometric series. We also derive two new WP-Bailey pairs, and use them to derive some additional new…

Motivated by a recent paper of Liu and Ma, we describe a number of general WP-Bailey chains. We show that many of the existing WP-Bailey chains (or branches of the WP-Bailey tree), including chains found by Andrews, Warnaar and Liu and Ma,…

We derive a new general transformation for WP-Bailey pairs by considering the a certain limiting case of a WP-Bailey chain previously found by the authors, and examine several consequences of this new transformation. These consequences…

We prove a new Bailey-type transformation relating WP-Bailey pairs. We then use this transformation to derive a number of new 3- and 4-term transformation formulae between basic hypergeometric series.

We establish a number of extensions of the well-poised Bailey lemma and elliptic well-poised Bailey lemma. As application we prove some new transformation formulae for basic and elliptic hypergeometric series, and embed some recent…

We derive several new transformations relating WP-Bailey pairs. We also consider the corresponding transformations relating standard Bailey pairs, and as a consequence, derive some quite general expansions for products of theta functions…

Let $(\alpha_n(a,k),\beta_n(a,k))$ be a WP-Bailey pair. Assuming the limits exist, let \[ (\alpha_n^*(a),\beta_n^*(a))_{n\geq 1} = \lim_{k \to 1}\left(\alpha_n(a,k),\frac{\beta_n(a,k)}{1-k}\right)_{n\geq 1} \] be the \emph{derived}…

We announce a higher-dimensional generalization of the Bailey Transform, Bailey Lemma, and iterative ``Bailey chain'' concept in the setting of basic hypergeometric series very well-poised on unitary $A_{\ell}$ or symplectic $C_{\ell}$…

The notion of integral Bailey pairs is introduced. Using the single variable elliptic beta integral, we construct an infinite binary tree of identities for elliptic hypergeometric integrals. Two particular sequences of identities are…

If $k$ is set equal to $a q$ in the definition of a WP Bailey pair, \[ \beta_{n}(a,k) = \sum_{j=0}^{n} \frac{(k/a)_{n-j}(k)_{n+j}}{(q)_{n-j}(aq)_{n+j}}\alpha_{j}(a,k), \] this equation reduces to $\beta_{n}=\sum_{j=0}^{n}\alpha_{j}$. This…

The aim of this paper is to establish new series transforms of Bailey type and to show that these Bailey type transforms work as efficiently as the classical one and give not only new $q$-hypergeometric identities, converting double or…

We list $A_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$ extensions of the elliptic WP Bailey transform and lemma, given for $n=1$ by Andrews and Spiridonov. Our work requires multiple series extensions of Frenkel and Turaev's terminating, balanced and…

Recently, Kajihara gave a Bailey-type transformation relating basic hypergeometric series on the root system An, with different dimensions n. We give, with a new, elementary, proof, an elliptic analogue of this transformation. We also…

A pair of sequences $(\alpha_{n}(a,k,q),\beta_{n}(a,k,q))$ such that $\alpha_0(a,k,q)=1$ and \[ \beta_{n}(a,k,q) = \sum_{j=0}^{n} \frac{(k/a; q)_{n-j}(k; q)_{n+j}}{(q;q)_{n-j}(aq;q)_{n+j}}\alpha_{j}(a,k,q) \] is termed a \emph{WP-Bailey…

We provide an alternate approach to obtaining expansion formulas on the lines of the well-poised Bailey lemma. We recover results due to Spiridonov and Warnaar and one new formula of this type. These formulas contain an arbitrary sequence…

We obtain extensions of classical hypergeometric identities of Bailey and Whipple that transform nearly-poised and very-well-poised series to Saalsch\"utzian series, Saalsch\"utzian series to Saalsch\"utzian series, and very-well-poised and…

We study a two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetric duality and construct novel Bailey pairs for the associated elliptic genera. This framework provides a systematic method to establish the equivalence of the elliptic genera of…

We review some of W.N. Bailey's work on hypergeometric functions that found solid applications in number theory. The text is complemented by Bailey's letters to Freeman Dyson from the 1940s.

Using multiple q-integrals and a determinant evaluation, we establish a multivariable extension of Bailey's nonterminating 10-phi-9 transformation. From this result, we deduce new multivariable terminating 10-phi-9 transformations, 8-phi-7…

We rewrite the recently constructed q-hypergeometric integral Bailey pair in a general form. Then with the help of the Bailey pair and $q$-beta hypergeometric sum-integral, we construct the star-triangle relation.
