A PARTITION RESULT WHICH IMPLIES FINE'S IDENTITY

From MaRDI portal





The authors establish an isomorphism between two different sets of partitions and show in an elementary way that \[ q^{2l}\sum_{m=1}^\infty \frac{t^mq^{(2k+1)m}}{(tq^{2l};q^2)_m} =q^{2k+1}\sum_{m=1}^\infty \frac{t^mq^{2lm}}{(tq^{(2k+1)};q^2)_m}, \] where \[ (a;q)_m=(1-a)(1-aq)\cdots (1-aq^{m-1}) . \] From the above identity, they deduced Fine's identity \[ \sum_{j=0}^\infty (-q;q)_j q^{j+1}t^{j+1}=\sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{t^{m+1}q^{2m+1}}{(tq;q^2 )_{m+1}}. \] The paper ends with an analytic proof of the first identity.
