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

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
determines the number of points in the identity. The argument
is
suppressed in the above notation, as all cyclic identities are independent of

These identities are cyclic in the sense that each of the indices
in the first product of, for example, the form
are simultaneously permuted in the cyclic order:
;
. Many of the identities that follow also have this property.
