Some Hecke-Rogers type identities (Q2419277): Difference between revisions

Using formulas from the work of \textit{Z.-G. Liu} [Int. J. Number Theory 9, No. 8, 2069--2089 (2013; Zbl 1284.05040)], the authors prove the Hecke-Rogers type identity \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{q^n(q;q^2)_n}{(-q;q^2)_n(1+q^{2n})}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{|m|\leq n}(-1)^mq^{n^2+m^2}-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^nq^{2n^2}, \] where as usual the \(q\)-Pochhammer symbol for non-negative integers \(n\) is defined by \((a;q)_n:=(1-a)(1-aq)\cdots(1-aq^{n-1}).\) Two further similar identities are also proved, namely \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{q^{n^2}}{(-q;q^2)_n(1+q^{2n})}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{|m|\leq n/2}(-1)^mq^{n^2-2m^2}-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^nq^{2n^2}, \] and \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n-1}q^n(q^2;q^2)_{n-1}}{(-q^2;q^2)_n}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{|m|\leq n/2}(-1)^mq^{n^2-2m^2}-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^nq^{2n^2}. \]
