From Configuration Sums and Fractional-level String Functions to Bailey’s Lemma
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. In this paper it is shown that the one-dimensional configuration sums of the solvable lattice models of Andrews, Baxter and Forrester and the string functions associated with admissible representations of the affine Lie algebra A (1) 1 as introduced by Kac and Wakimoto can be exploited to yield a very general class of conjugate Bailey pairs. Using the recently established fermionic or constant-sign expressions for the one-dimensional configuration sums, our result is employed to derive fermionic expressions for fractionallevel string functions, parafermion characters and A (1) 1 branching functions. In addition, q-series identities are obtained whose Lie algebraic and/or combinatorial interpretation is still lacking.

The Bailey Lemma and Kostka Polynomials
Using the theory of Kostka polynomials, we prove an An−1 version of Bailey’s lemma at integral level. Exploiting a new, conjectural expansion for Kostka numbers, this is then generalized to fractional levels, leading to a new expression for admissible characters of A n−1 and to identities for A-type branching functions.
متن کاملExotic Bailey-slater Spt-functions Ii: Hecke-rogers-type Double Sums and Bailey Pairs from Groups A, C, E
We continue to investigate spt-type functions that arise from Bailey pairs. We prove simple Ramanujan type congruences for these functions which can be explained by a spt-crank-type function. The spt-crank-type functions are constructed by adding an extra variable z into the generating functions. We find these generating functions to have interesting representations as either infinite products ...
متن کاملSupernomial Coefficients, Bailey’s Lemma and Rogers–ramanujan-type Identities. a Survey of Results and Open Problems
An elementary introduction to the recently introduced A2 Bailey lemma for supernomial coefficients is presented. As illustration, some A2 q-series identities are (re)derived which are natural analogues of the classical (A1) Rogers–Ramanujan identities and their generalizations of Andrews and Bressoud. The intimately related, but unsolved problems of supernomial inversion, An−1 and higher level ...
متن کاملA Higher-level Bailey Lemma
We propose a generalization of Bailey’s lemma, useful for proving q-series identities. As an application, generalizations of Euler’s identity, the Rogers–Ramanujan identities, and the Andrews–Gordon identities are derived. The generalized Bailey lemma also allows one to derive the branching functions of higher-level A (1) 1 cosets. 1. The Bailey Lemma In his famous 1949 paper, W. N. Bailey note...
متن کاملFermionic solution of the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester model II: proof of Melzer’s polynomial identities
We compute the one-dimensional configuration sums of the ABF model using the fermionic technique introduced in part I of this paper. Combined with the results of Andrews, Baxter and Forrester, we find proof of polynomial identities for finitizations of the Virasoro characters χ (r−1,r) b,a (q) as conjectured by Melzer. In the thermodynamic limit these identities reproduce Rogers–Ramanujan type ...
