The charge-refined q-series identity for the principal subspace of type B

Let qq, y1y_1, and y2y_2 be formal variables, and let (q)n(q)_n denote the finite qq-Pochhammer symbol for n0n\geq 0. The variables r1,r2,r3,n1,n2,n3,n4,n5r_1,r_2,r_3,n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4,n_5 range independently over nonnegative integers.

Charge-refined q-series conjecture. The following identity holds:

r1,r2,r30y1r1y22r3+r2qr12+(r2+r3)2+r32r1(r2+2r3)(q)r1(q)r2(q)r3=n1,n2,n3,n4,n50\sum_{\substack{r_1,r_2,r_3 \geq 0}} y_1^{r_1} y_2^{2r_3+r_2} \frac{q^{r_1^2+(r_2+r_3)^2+r_3^2-r_1(r_2+2 r_3)}}{(q)_{r_1}(q)_{r_2}(q)_{r_3}}= \sum_{\substack{n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4,n_{5} \geq 0}} y1n1+n2+n4y22n1+2n3+n4+n5qn12+n22+(n3+n5)2+n42+n32+(2n3+n5)(n1)+n4(n1+n2)+n3n4(q)n1(q)n2(q)n3(q)n4(q)n5.y_1^{n_1+n_2+n_4} y_2^{2n_1+2n_3+n_4+n_5} \frac{q^{n_1^2+n_2^2+(n_3+n_5)^2+n_4^2+n_3^2+(2 n_3+n_5)(n_1)+n_4(n_1+n_2)+n_3 n_4}}{(q)_{n_1}(q)_{n_2}(q)_{n_3}(q)_{n_4}(q)_{n_5}}.

This stronger charge-refined identity is intended to establish the expected equality of Hilbert-series and character formulas for the principal subspace of the level-one so(5)so(5) representation; it was checked computationally only to finite order in the source, so its general validity remains open.
