A Generalization of the Doubling Construction for Sums of Squares Identities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The doubling construction is a fast and important way to generate new solutions to the Hurwitz problem on sums of squares identities from any known ones. In this short note, we generalize the doubling construction and obtain from any given admissible triple [r, s, n] a series of new ones [r+ ρ(2m−1), 2s, 2n] for all positive integer m, where ρ is the Hurwitz–Radon function.

The Discursive Construction of Ethnic Identities: The Case of Greek-Cypriot Students
This study examines how Greek-Cypriot students aged 12 to 18, an understudied group of students, construct their ethnic identity in a complex setting such as Cyprus and what motivates the students in the selection of ethnic identity labels. The choice to focus on students aged 12-18 was made on the hypothesis that young children, who did not experience the 1974 war in Cyprus, may have a differe...
متن کاملInfinite Families of Exact Sums of Squares Formulas, Jacobi Elliptic Functions, Continued Fractions, and Schur Functions
In this paper we derive many infinite families of explicit exact formulas involving either squares or triangular numbers, two of which generalize Jacobi’s 4 and 8 squares identities to 4n2 or 4n(n + 1) squares, respectively, without using cusp forms. In fact, we similarly generalize to infinite families all of Jacobi’s explicitly stated degree 2, 4, 6, 8 Lambert series expansions of classical t...
متن کاملIdentities with squares of binomial coefficients
This paper introduces a method for finding closed forms for certain sums involving squares of binomial coefficients. We use this method to present an alternative approach to a problem of evaluating a different type of sums containing squares of the numbers from Catalan's triangle.
متن کاملThe Elliptic Apostol-dedekind Sums Generate Odd Dedekind Symbols with Laurent Polynomial Reciprocity Laws
Abstract. Dedekind symbols are generalizations of the classical Dedekind sums (symbols). There is a natural isomorphism between the space of Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws and the space of modular forms. We will define a new elliptic analogue of the Apostol-Dedekind sums. Then we will show that the newly defined sums generate all odd Dedekind symbols with Laurent poly...
متن کاملThe sums of Rogers, Schur and Ramanujan and the Bose-Fermi correspondence in 1 + 1-dimensional quantum field theory
We discuss the relation of the two types of sums in the Rogers-Schur-Ramanujan identities with the Bose-Fermi correspondence of massless quantum field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions. One type, which generalizes to sums which appear in the Weyl-Kac character formula for representations of affine Lie algebras and in expressions for their branching functions, is related to bosonic descriptions of the ...
