Proofs of Two Conjectural Identities on Partial Nahm Sums
Recently, Wang and Zeng investigated modularity of partial Nahm sums and discovered 14 modular families of such sums. They confirmed modularity for 13 families and proposed a conjecture consisting of two Rogers--Ramanujan type identities for the remaining family. We prove these conjectural identities in two steps. First, employing a transformation formula involving two Bailey pairs, we transform the partial Nahm sums into some specific Hecke-type series. Second, using two distinct approaches, we convert these Hecke-type series to the desired modular infinite products.

Modularity of tadpole Nahm sums in ranks 4 and 5
Around 2016, Calinescu, Milas and Penn conjectured that the rank $r$ Nahm sum associated with the $r\times r$ tadpole Cartan matrix is modular, and they provided a proof for $r=2$. The $r=3$ case was recently resolved by Milas and Wang. We prove this conjecture for the next cases $r=4,5$. We also prove the modularity of some companion Nahm sums by establishing the corresponding Rogers--Ramanujan type identities. A key new ingredient in our proofs is some rank reduction formulas which allow us to decompose higher rank tadpole Nahm sums to mixed products of some lower rank Nahm-type sums and theta functions.Open AccessModularity of tadpole Nahm sums in ranks 4 and 5
