Abstract
This is a written expansion of the talk delivered by the author at the International Conference on Number Theory in Honor of Krishna Alladi for his 60th Birthday, held at the University of Florida, March 17–21, 2016. Here, we derive Bailey pairs that give rise to Rogers–Ramanujan type identities, the product sides of which are known to be the principally specialized characters of the \(A_2^{(2)}\) standard modules \((\ell - 2i+2)\varLambda _0 + (i-1)\varLambda _1\) for any level \(\ell \), and \(i=1, 2\).
Dedicated to Krishna Alladi on the occasion of his 60th birthday
