On Rogers-Ramanujan functions, binary quadratic forms and eta-quotients

Alexander Berkovich, Hamza Yesilyurt

Published 2012-04-04, updated 2012-07-22Version 3

In a handwritten manuscript published with his lost notebook, Ramanujan stated without proofs forty identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan functions. We observe that the functions that appear in Ramanujan's identities can be obtained from a Hecke action on a certain family of eta products. We establish further Hecke-type relations for these functions involving binary quadratic forms. Our observations enable us to find new identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan functions and also to use such identities in turn to find identities involving binary quadratic forms.
