Partial theta function expansions
Among the many identities which George Andrews has discovered and proved from Ramanujan's ``Lost Notebook are several which expand theta functions in terms of partial products of the same function. As an example, set \[ \theta (x;q)=(q^ 2;q^ 2)_{\infty}(xq;q^ 2)_{\infty}(x^{-1}q;q^ 2)_{\infty},\;\theta_ N(x;q)=(q^ 2;q^ 2)_{\infty}(xq;q^ 2)_ N(x^{-1}q;q^ 2)_ N. \] Ramanujan stated and \textit{G. E. Andrews} has proved [Adv. Math. 41, 137--172, 173--185 (1981; Zbl 0477.33001, Zbl 0477.33002)] that \[ \theta (x;q^ 3)=\sum \frac{q^{2n^ 2}}{(q^ 2;q^ 2)_{2n}}\theta_ n(x;q). \tag{*} \] The author proves these identities in a more general setting. As an example, (*) becomes \[ \theta (x;q^ 3)=\frac{-q^ 3}{(x+x^{- 1}+dq^ 3)}\sum \frac{q^{2n^ 2-2n}(1-dq^{2n})}{(q^ 2;q^ 2)_{2n}}\theta_ n(x;q). \]
