Let S and T be sets of positive integers and let a be a fixed positive integer. An a-shifted partition identity has the form [Formula: see text] Here p(S,n) is the number partitions of n whose parts are elements of S. For all known nontrivial shifted partition identities, the sets S and T are unions of arithmetic progressions modulo M for some M. In 1987, Andrews found two 1-shifted examples (M = 32, 40) and asked whether there were any more. In 1989, Kalvade responded with a further six. In 2000, the first author found 59 new 1-shifted identities using a computer search and showed how these could be proved using the theory of modular functions. Modular transformation of certain shifted identities leads to shiftless partition identities. Again let a be a fixed positive integer, and S, T be distinct sets of positive integers. A shiftless partition identity has the form [Formula: see text] In this paper, we show, except in one case, how all known 1-shifted and shiftless identities follow from a four-parameter theta-function identity due to Jacobi. New shifted and shiftless partition identities are proved.

Theta Function Identity

We show that the cubic theta functions satisfy two distinct coupled systems of nonlinear differential equations. The resulting relations are analogous to Ramanujan's differential equations for Eisenstein series on the full modular group. We deduce the cubic analogs presented here from trigonometric series identities arising in Ramanujan's original paper on Eisenstein series. Several consequences of these differential equations are established, including a short proof of a famous cubic theta function identity derived by J. M. Borwein and P. B. Borwein.

The Schröter formula is an important theta function identity. In this paper, we will point out that some well-known addition formulas for theta functions are special cases of the Schröter formula. We further show that the Hirschhorn septuple product identity can also be derived from this formula. In addition, this formula allows us to derive four remarkable theta functions identities, two of them are extensions of two well-known Ramanujan's identities related to the modular equations of degree 5. A trigonometric identity is also proved.

Theta Function Identity

By constructing a sign-reversing involution, we prove Warnaar’s identity involving a partial theta function, which plays many important roles in the study of asymptotic behaviors and quantum modularities in number theory. We also obtain an Euler-like theorem for a certain kind of unimodal sequences from Warnaar’s identity.
