§22.9 Cyclic Identities

Contents

§22.9(i) Notation

The following notation is a generalization of that of Khare and Sukhatme (2002).

Throughout this subsection m and p are positive integers with 1\leq m\leq p.

In the remainder of this section the rank of an identity is the largest number of elliptic function factors in any term of the identity. The value of p determines the number of points in the identity. The argument z is suppressed in the above notation, as all cyclic identities are independent of z.

§22.9(ii) Typical Identities of Rank 2

In this subsection 1\leq m\leq p and 1\leq n\leq p.

Three Points

These identities are cyclic in the sense that each of the indices m,n in the first product of, for example, the form s_{{m,2}}^{{(4)}}s_{{n,2}}^{{(4)}} are simultaneously permuted in the cyclic order: m\to m+1\to m+2\to\cdots p\to 1\to 2\to\cdots m-1; n\to n+1\to n+2\to\cdots p\to 1\to 2\to\cdots n-1. Many of the identities that follow also have this property.
