An Explicit Cohen-Style Threefield Identity

In 1988, Andrews, Dyson, and Hickerson showed that a [Formula: see text]-series [Formula: see text] found in Ramanujan’s lost notebook and related to partitions could be interpreted as counting ideals in [Formula: see text], and found similar formulas for [Formula: see text] in terms of ideals of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Cohen followed this by showing more generally that for certain triples of quadratic fields, there is abelian extension and conductor so that the ray class character theta series for all three fields coincide. In the intervening years, several [Formula: see text]-series counting ideals in quadratic fields have been explored, nearly all relating to the fields explored by Andrews et al. In this paper we give an example of a ray class character theta series which stems from [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. We use recent work of Okano to give explicit formulas via quadratic form theta series with congruence conditions stemming from each field. We isolate an analogue of [Formula: see text] for this series and show that it has coefficients also given by a partition generating function.

Abstract

In 1988, Andrews, Dyson, and Hickerson showed that a [Formula: see text]-series [Formula: see text] found in Ramanujan’s lost notebook and related to partitions could be interpreted as counting ideals in [Formula: see text], and found similar formulas for [Formula: see text] in terms of ideals of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Cohen followed this by showing more generally that for certain triples of quadratic fields, there is abelian extension and conductor so that the ray class character theta series for all three fields coincide. In the intervening years, several [Formula: see text]-series counting ideals in quadratic fields have been explored, nearly all relating to the fields explored by Andrews et al. In this paper we give an example of a ray class character theta series which stems from [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. We use recent work of Okano to give explicit formulas via quadratic form theta series with congruence conditions stemming from each field. We isolate an analogue of [Formula: see text] for this series and show that it has coefficients also given by a partition generating function.
