The Bailey-Rogers-Ramanujan group
A pair of sequences \((\alpha_n(a,q),\beta_n(a,q))\) is called a Bailey pair with parameters \((a,q)\) if \[ \beta_n(a,q) = \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{\alpha_n(a,q)}{(q;q)_{n-r}(aq;q)_{n+r}} \] for all \(n\geq 0\). It is known that Bailey's Lemma takes a Bailey pair \[ (\alpha_n(a,q),\beta_n(a,q)) \] and produces another Bailey pair \[ (\alpha_n'(a,q),\beta_n'(a,q)). \] Various limiting cases of the Bailey's Lemma allow the author to establish a link between transformations of Bailey pairs via the Bailey's Lemma and the elements in the group (the author called this group the Bailey-Rogers-Ramanujan group) generated by \[ S_1=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}\right), \quad S_2=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 1/2 \\ 0 & 1\end{matrix}\right), \quad D_1=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2\end{matrix}\right), \quad D_2=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 2\end{matrix}\right), \] \[ D_3=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & -1/2 \\ 0 & 2\end{matrix}\right), \quad E_1=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1/2\end{matrix}\right), \quad E_2-\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 1/2 \\ 0 & 1/2\end{matrix}\right), \] \[ E_3=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 1/4 \\ 0 & 1/2\end{matrix}\right), \quad T_1= \left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 1/3 \\ 0 & 1/3\end{matrix}\right)\quad\text{and}\quad T_2=\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 3\end{matrix}\right). \] More precisely, for any \(\omega = \omega_1\omega_2\cdots \omega_{k+1}\) in the Bailey-Rogers-Ramanujan group, there is a finite Rogers-Ramanujan identity corresponding to \(\omega\). Examples due to L. Slater, as well as new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities are given in Section 5. At the end of the article, alternative representations of the Borwein polynomials are given. This is a very well written paper and I highly recommend it to anyone who are interested in Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0980.00024].
