Lebesgue identity
introduction
- [Alladi&Gordon1993] 278&279p
\(f(a,c)=\sum_{k\geq 0}\frac{a^{k}q^{k(k-1)/2}(-cq)_{k}}{(q)_{k}}\) - Let a=q, c=z
\(f(a,c)=\sum_{k\geq 0}\frac{a^{k}q^{k(k-1)/2}(-cq)_{k}}{(q)_{k}}\)
\(\sum_{k\geq 0}\frac{q^{k(k+1)/2}(-zq)_{k}}{(q)_{k}}=\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{z^{j}q^{(i+j)(i+j+1)/2+j(j+1)/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=(-zq^2;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}\)
\(\sum_{k\geq 0}\frac{q^{k(k+1)/2}(-zq)_{k}}{(q)_{k}}=\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{z^{j}q^{(i+j)(i+j+1)/2+j(j+1)/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=(-zq^2;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}\)
- Lebesgue's identity
\(\sum_{k\geq 0}\frac{q^{k(k+1)/2}(-zq)_{k}}{(q)_{k}}=(-zq^2;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}=\prod_{m=1}^{\infty} (1+zq^{2m})(1+q^{m})\)
a 2x2 matrix
- Use q-binomial identity
\((-z;q)_{n}= \sum_{r=0}^{n} \begin{bmatrix} n\\ r\end{bmatrix}_{q}q^{r(r-1)/2}z^r\) and \((-zq;q)_{k}= \sum_{r=0}^{k} \begin{bmatrix} k\\ r\end{bmatrix}_{q}q^{r(r+1)/2}z^r\) - we get a rank 2 form of the Lebesgue's identity
\(\sum_{k\geq 0}\frac{q^{k(k+1)/2}(-zq)_{k}}{(q)_{k}}=\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{z^{j}q^{(i+j)(i+j+1)/2+j(j+1)/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=(-zq^2;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}\) where \(i=k-j\).
(proof)
- here we get a 2x2 matrix (rank 2 case)
\( \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\)
specializations
(Theorem)
if we set \(z=q^{-1}\) in the Lebesgue's identity,
\(\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{(i^2+2ij+2j^2)/2+i/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=(-q;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}\) which is same as \(\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{(i^2+2ij+2j^2)/2+i/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=\frac{(q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}^3}{(q;q)_{\infty}^2(q^{4};q^{4})_{\infty}}=\frac{(q^2;q^4)_{\infty}}{(q;q^4)_{\infty}^2(q^3;q^4)_{\infty}^2}\)
(proof)
\((-q)_{n}=\frac{(q^2;q^2)_{n}}{(q;q)_{n}}\)
\((-q;q^{2})_{n}=\frac{(-q;q)_{n}}{(-q^{2};q^{2})_{n}}=\frac{(q^{2};q^{2})_{n}(q^{2};q^{2})_{n}}{(q^{4};q^{4})_{n}(q;q)_{n}}=\frac{(q^{2};q^{4})_{n}}{(q^{1};q^{4})_{n}(q^{3};q^{4})_{n}}\) .■
(Theorem)
if we set \(z=1\) in the Lebesgue's identity,
\(\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{\frac{i^2+2ij+2j^2}{2}+\frac{i+2j}{2}}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=(-q^2;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}\) which is same as \(\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{\frac{i^2+2ij+2j^2}{2}+\frac{i+2j}{2}}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=\frac{(q^4;q^4)_{\infty}}{(q;q)_{\infty}}=\frac{1}{(q^1;q^4)_{\infty}(q^2;q^4)_{\infty}(q^3;q^4)_{\infty}}\)
(proof)
\((-q)_{n}=\frac{(q^2;q^2)_{n}}{(q;q)_{n}}\)
\((-q^2;q^{2})_{n}=\frac{(q^4;q^4)_{n}}{(q^2;q^2)_{n}}=\frac{1}{(q^2;q^4)_{n}}\)
Therefore
\(\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{\frac{i^2+2ij+2j^2}{2}+\frac{i+2j}{2}}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=(-q^2;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}=\frac{(q^2;q^2)_{\infty}}{(q;q)_{\infty}}\frac{(q^4;q^4)_{\infty}}{(q^2;q^2)_{\infty}}=\frac{(q^4;q^4)_{\infty}}{(q;q)_{\infty}}=\frac{1}{(q^1;q^4)_{\infty}(q^2;q^4)_{\infty}(q^3;q^4)_{\infty}}\). ■
continued fraction expression
- rank 2 continued fraction

[Alladi&Gordon1993] 277p
\(F(a,c)=1+a+\frac{acq}{1+aq} {\ \atop+} \frac{acq^2}{1+aq^2}{\ \atop+} \frac{acq^3}{1} {\ \atop+\dots}\)
Then the following holds
\(F(a,c)=\frac{f(a,c)}{f(aq,c)}\) where \(f(a,c)=\sum_{k\geq 0}\frac{a^{k}q^{k(k-1)/2}(-cq)_{k}}{(q)_{k}}\)
\(\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{(i^2+2ij+2j^2)/2+i/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=\frac{(q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}^3}{(q;q)_{\infty}^2(q^{4};q^{4})_{\infty}}=\frac{(q^2;q^4)_{\infty}}{(q;q^4)_{\infty}^2(q^3;q^4)_{\infty}^2}\)
\(\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{\frac{i^2+2ij+2j^2}{2}+\frac{i+2j}{2}}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}=\frac{(q^4;q^4)_{\infty}}{(q;q)_{\infty}}=\frac{1}{(q^1;q^4)_{\infty}(q^2;q^4)_{\infty}(q^3;q^4)_{\infty}}\)
comparison with Rogers-Selberg identities
- Rogers-Selberg identities
\(AG_{3,3}(q)=\sum_{n_1,n_{2}\geq0}\frac{q^{n_{1}^2+2n_1n_2+2n_{2}^{2}}}{(q)_{n_1}(q)_{n_{2}}}=\prod_{r\neq 0,\pm 3 \pmod {7}}\frac{1}{1-q^r}=\frac{(q^3;q^7)_\infty (q^4; q^7)_\infty(q^7;q^7)_\infty}{(q)_\infty}\)
\(A(q)W(q)=AG_{3,3}(q)\)
where
\(W(q)=(-q)_{\infty}=\frac{(q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}}{(q;q)_{\infty}}\) - Lebesgue's identity
\(\frac{W(q)^2}{W(q^2)}=\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{(i^2+2ij+2j^2)/2+i/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}\)
(proof)
Note that from useful techniques in q-series
\((-q;q^{2})_{\infty}=\frac{(-q;q)_{\infty}}{(-q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}}=\frac{(q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}(q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}}{(q^{4};q^{4})_{\infty}(q;q)_{\infty}}=\frac{W(q)}{W(q^2)}\)
Therefore
\((-q;q^2)_{\infty}(-q)_{\infty}=\frac{(q^{2};q^{2})_{\infty}^3}{(q;q)_{\infty}^2(q^{4};q^{4})_{\infty}}=\frac{W(q)^2}{W(q^2)}\). ■
\(W(q)=\frac{\eta(2\tau)}{\eta(\tau)}\)
\(W(q^2)=\frac{\eta(4\tau)}{\eta(2\tau)}\)
\(\frac{W(q)^2}{W(q^2)}=\frac{\eta(2\tau)^3}{\eta(\tau)^2\eta(4\tau)}=\sum_{i,j\geq 0}\frac{q^{(i^2+2ij+2j^2)/2+i/2}}{(q)_{i}(q)_{j}}\)
