scholarly journals A generalisation of the quintuple product identity

Author(s):  
M. D. Hirschhorn

AbstractThe quintuple product identity has appeared many times in the literature. Indeed, no fewer than 12 proofs have been given. We establish a more general identity from which the quintuple product identity follows in two ways.

We give a new form of the quintuple product identity. As a direct application of this new form a simple proof of known identities of Ramanujan and also new identities for other well known continued fractions are given. We also give and prove a general identity for (q3m; q3m)?.

We prove a general identity between power series and use this identity to give proofs of a number of identities proposed by M.D. Hirschhorn. We also use the identity to give proofs of a well-known result of Jacobi, the quintuple-product identity and Winquist's identity.

It is well known that `Ramanujan's remarkable summation formula' unifies and generalizes the $q$-binomial theorem and the triple product identity and has numerous applications. In this note we will demonstrate how, after a suitable transformation of the series side, it can be looked upon as a $2$-parameter generalization of the quintuple product identity also.

New short and easy computer proofs of finite versions of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities and of similar type are given. These include a very short proof of the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity that was missed by computers, and a new proof of the well-known quintuple product identity by creative telescoping.

We give a simple proof of the well-known quintuple product identity. The strategy of our proof is similar to a proof of Jacobi (ascribed to him by Enneper) for the triple product identity.

We give a bijective proof of the quintuple product identity using bijective proofs of Jacobi's triple product identity and Euler's recurrence relation.

We derive the general series-product identities from which we deduce several applications, including an identity of Gauss, the generalization of Winquist's identity by Carlitz and Subbarao, an identity for [Formula: see text], the quintuple product identity, and the octuple product identity.
