The p=1p=1 case of the Feigin–Stoyanovsky identity

About 16 years old · traced to

Let k,nk,n be positive integers, set N=2n+1N=2n+1 and p=1p=1, and let CabC_{ab} be the Cartan matrix of type AN−1\textup{A}_{N-1}. For nonnegative integers mi(a)m_i^{(a)}, define the associated integers Mi(a)M_i^{(a)} as in the Feigin–Stoyanovsky identity. Then the identity

∑q12∑a,b=1N−1∑i=1k−1CabMi(a)Mi(b)+∑a=1N−1∑i=1k−1(−1)aMi(a)∏a=1N−1∏i=1k−1(q)mi(a)=1(q)∞2n2+n∑χ(v/ρ∗)q∥v∥2−∥ρ∗+k−1∥24(k+n)\sum \frac{q^{\frac{1}{2}\sum_{a,b=1}^{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^{k-1} C_{ab}M_i^{(a)}M_i^{(b)}+\sum_{a=1}^{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^{k-1}(-1)^aM_i^{(a)}}}{\prod_{a=1}^{N-1}\prod_{i=1}^{k-1}(q)_{m_i^{(a)}}} =\frac{1}{(q)_\infty^{2n^2+n}} \sum \chi(\boldsymbol{v}/\boldsymbol{\rho}^{\ast})q^{\frac{\lVert\boldsymbol{v}\rVert^2-\lVert\boldsymbol{\rho}^{\ast}+k-1\rVert^2}{4(k+n)}}

holds, where ρ∗=(1,2,…,n)\boldsymbol{\rho}^{\ast}=(1,2,\ldots,n), χ(v/w)=∏i=1nviwi∏1≤i<j≤nvi2−vj2wi2−wj2\chi(\boldsymbol{v}/\boldsymbol{w})=\prod_{i=1}^n\frac{v_i}{w_i}\prod_{1\leq i<j\leq n}\frac{v_i^2-v_j^2}{w_i^2-w_j^2}, and the sum is over v∈Zn\boldsymbol{v}\in\mathbb{Z}^n satisfying vi≡ρi∗+k−1(mod2k+2n)v_i\equiv\rho_i^{\ast}+k-1\pmod{2k+2n}. This is the specialization p=1p=1 of the Feigin–Stoyanovsky identity; the surrounding discussion relates it to Macdonald's Cn(1)C_n^{(1)} eta-function identity and, for n=1n=1, to Jacobi's identity.
