On a theta product of Jacobi and its applications to \(q\)-gamma products (Q2414778)

The purpose of this article is to continue the research on Gosper's \(q\)-trigonometry. First, a new proof for an identity of Jacobi's for theta functions, and a \(q\)-analogue of the special case \(x=1\) in the Gaussian multiplication formula for the gamma function with Ramaujan's \(f(-q)\) function are given. In the second part of the paper, a \(q\)-Von Mangoldt function is defined and expressions for \[ P_ q (n) =\prod_{\substack{k=1\\ (k,n)=1}}^n\Gamma_ q\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)\] in terms of Ramanujan's \(\Psi\) function are found. Reviewers remarks: Formula (10) is the special case \(x=1\) in the Gaussian multiplication formula for the gamma function. There is a slight misprint regarding the basis \(q\) on the right hand side in formula (13).
