Let $R(q)$ be the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. We give different proofs of two complementary relations for $R(q)$ given by Ramanujan and proved by Watson and Ramanathan. Our proofs only use product expansions for classical Jacobi…
These lecture notes were written for a mini-course that was designed to introduce students and researchers to {\it $q$-series,} which are also called {\it basic hypergeometric series} because of the parameter $q$ that is used as a base in…
By employing the classical tools from the theory of $q$-series and theta functions, new fascinating identities on different continued fractions can be achieved. In this article, we use the product expansion of Jacobi's theta function to…
In this paper, we derive eight basic identities of symmetry in three variables related to $q$-Bernoulli polynomials and the $q$-analogue of power sums. These and most of their corollaries are new, since there have been results only about…
Different generators of a deformed oscillator algebra give rise to one-parameter families of $q$-exponential functions and $q$-Hermite polynomials related by generating functions. Connections of the Stieltjes and Hamburger classical moment…
In solving $q$-difference equations, and in the definition of $q$-special functions, we encounter formal power series in which the $n$th coefficient is of size $q^{-\binom{n}{2}}$ with $q\in(0,1)$ fixed. To make sense of these formal…
This manuscript introduces a general multisection identity expressed equivalently in terms of infinite double products and/or infinite double series, from which several new product or summation identities involving special functions…
We present alternative, q-hypergeometric proofs of some polynomial analogues of classical q-series identities recently discovered by Alladi and Berkovich, and Berkovich and Garvan.
In this paper, we study the tensor product of two unitary irreducible representations, as well as the tensor product of a unitary irreducible representation with a finite-dimensional one, and determine the corresponding Clebsch-Gordan…
In the $q^{-1}$-symmetric Askey scheme, namely the $q^{-1}$-Askey--Wilson, continuous dual $q^{-1}$-Hahn, $q^{-1}$-Al-Salam--Chihara, continuous big $q^{-1}$-Hermite and continuous $q^{-1}$-Hermite polynomials, we compute bilateral discrete…
The main object of this paper is to obtain several symmetric properties of the q-Zeta type functions. As applications of these properties, we give some new interesting identities for the modified q-Genocchi polynomials. Finally, our…
We prove a summation formula for a bilateral series whose terms are products of two basic hypergeometric functions. In special cases, series of this type arise as matrix elements of quantum group representations.
The q-Bessel-Macdonald functions of kinds 1, 2 and 3 are considered. Their representations by classical integral are constructed.
We give a new method to prove in a uniform and easy way various transformation formulas for Gauss hypergeometric functions. The key is Jacobi's canonical form of the hypergeometric differential equation. Analogy for $q$-hypergeometric…
We give a detailed description of the resolution of the identity of a second order $q$-difference operator considered as an unbounded self-adjoint operator on two different Hilbert spaces. The $q$-difference operator and the two choices of…
We prove several infinite families of $q$-series identities for false theta functions and related series. These identities are motivated by considerations of characters of modules of vertex operator superalgebras and of quantum…
The aim of the paper is to relate computational and arithmetic questions about Euler's constant $\gamma$ with properties of the values of the $q$-logarithm function, with natural choice of $q$. By these means, we generalize a classical…
We prove a duality relation for generalized basic hypergeometric functions. It forms a $q$-extension of a recent result of the second and the third named authors and generalizes both a $q$-hypergeometric identity due to the third named…
The present work stemmed from the study of the problem of harmonic analysis on the infinite-dimensional unitary group U(\infty). That problem consisted in the decomposition of a certain 4-parameter family of unitary representations, which…
