A Bailey Lemma from the Quintuple Product

Abstract

In a previous paper, the discovery of further Rogers-Ramanujan type identities from new Bailey Lemmas was discussed. In that paper, the starting point was a product of independent Jacobi triple products. In this paper, we start from the quintuple product.
