Ramanujan's {_1ψ_1} summation

S. Ole Warnaar

Published 2012-06-12, updated 2012-11-05Version 3

This paper gives a short but reasonably comprehensive review of Ramanujan's {_1\psi_1} summation and its generalisations. It covers the history of Ramanujan's summation, simple applications to sums of squares and orthogonal polynomials, non-commutative generalisations, and generalisations to affine root systems.

Comments: This paper is part of a series of short articles on Ramanujan's mathematics to appear in the Notices of the AMS in commemoration of Ramanujan's 125th birthday; Final updated and corrected version as will appear in the Notices
