Residue theorem and theta function identities
The residue theorem is applied with ingenuity to elliptic functions to prove some identities of Ramanujan as well as some new identities. The idea is simply to use the fact that the sum of the residues of an elliptic function in a period parallelogram is zero. We quote two of the many results obtained. The first is known, and the second appears to be new \[ \sqrt{\theta_2(q) \theta_2(q^7)}+ \sqrt{\theta_4(q) \theta_4(q^7)}= \sqrt{\theta_3(q) \theta_3(q^7)}, \] \[ 1+ 2\sum_{n=1}^\infty \biggl( \frac{n}{11} \biggr) \frac{q^{2n}} {1-q^{2n}}=- \frac{(q^2;q^2)_\infty^3} {11(q^{22};q^{22})_\infty} \Biggl( \frac{(-q^{22};q^{22})_\infty} {(-q^2;q^2)_\infty^3}+ \frac{2(-q^{11};q^{22})_\infty} {q(-q;q^2)_\infty^3}- \frac{2(q^{11};q^{22})_\infty} {q(q;q^2)_\infty^3} \Biggr), \] where \((\frac{n}{11})\) is the Legendre symbol.
