THE A l AND C l BAILEY TRANSFORM

Abstract. We announce a higher-dimensional generalization of the Bailey Transform, Bailey Lemma, and iterative “Bailey chain” concept in the setting of basic hypergeometric series very well-poised on unitary Al or symplectic Cl groups. The classical case, corresponding to A1 or equivalently U(2), contains an immense amount of the theory and application of one-variable basic hypergeometric serie...

Lifting Bailey pairs to WP-Bailey pairs

A pair of sequences (αn(a, k, q),βn(a, k, q)) such that α0(a, k, q) = 1 and βn(a, k, q) = n ∑ j=0 (k/a; q)n−j(k; q)n+j (q; q)n−j(aq; q)n+j αj(a, k, q) is termed a WP-Bailey Pair. Upon setting k = 0 in such a pair we obtain a Bailey pair. In the present paper we consider the problem of “lifting” a Bailey pair to a WPBailey pair, and use some of the new WP-Bailey pairs found in this way to derive...

Discrete Linear Hami l ton ian Eigenvalue Problems

-This paper introduces general discrete linear Harniltonian eigenvalue problems and characterizes the eigenvalues. Assumptions are given, among them the new notion of strict controllability of a discrete system, that imply isolatedness and lower boundedness of the eigenvalues. Due to the quite general assumptions, discrete Sturrn-Liouville eigenvalue problems of higher order are included in the...

Shifted versions of the Bailey and well-poised Bailey lemmas

The Bailey lemma is a famous tool to prove Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. We use shifted versions of the Bailey lemma to derive mversions of multisum Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. We also apply this method to the Well-Poised Bailey lemma and obtain a new extension of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities.
