报告摘要:Let $r\geq 1$ be a positive integer, $A$ a real positive definite symmetric $r\times r$ matrix, $B$ a vector of length $r$, and $C$ a scalar. Nahm's problem is to describe all such $A,B$ and $C$ with rational entries for which $$F_{A,B,C}(q)=\sum_{n=(n_1,\dots,n_r)\in (\mathbb{Z}_{r\geq 0})^r}\frac{q^{\frac{1}{2}n^\mathrm{T}An+n^\mathrm{T}B+C}} {(q)_{n_1}\cdots (q)_{n_r}}$$
is a modular form. Zagier completely solved the rank one case. When the rank $r=2,3$, Zagier presented many examples of $(A,B,C)$ for which $F_{A,B,C}(q)$ appears to be a modular form. We present a number of Rogers-Ramanujan type identities involving double and triple sums, which give modular form representations for Zagier’s rank two and rank three examples. We will also discuss the modularity of some other generalized Nahm sums.
