On certain identities involving Nahm-type sums with double poles (Q2104911)

In this paper, the authors investigate the double-pole Nahm-type sums \[ \mathcal D_{t,s}(w,q) = \sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_t\geq 0} (-w;q)_{n_1} q^{n_s} \prod_{r=1}^t \frac{q^{n_rn_{r+1}+n_r}}{(q;q)_{n_r}^2}, \] where \(t\geq 1\), \(1\leq s \leq t+1\) and \(n_{t+1}=0\). All identities of interest in this paper follow by specialization of \(w\). Using the method of quantum dilogarithm, the authors find a representation of \(\mathcal D_{t,s}(w,q)\) in the form of an ordinary Nahm sum (with single poles!) with some extra signs. A theta series type representation for \(\mathcal D_{t,s}(w,q)\) is obtained considering the Bailey pair machinery. Certain Nahm-type sum representations for the (odd modulus) Andrews-Gordon identities, the (even modulus) Andrews-Bressoud identities, and Rogers' false theta functions are proved in this context.
