Bailey pairs, Rogers-Ramanujan identities and conformal field theory
We will discuss the role of q-identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type played in conformal field theories. Another useful concept is Bailey pairs, which produce an infinite towers of such identities and are conjecturally related to RG flows for various rational CFTs. We note that the subject gained the most attention in the 80's and 90's, but since then has not been developing much. It is therefore interesting to argue about the prospectives and possible generalizations of this approach. Online link: meet.google.com/gbj-tmns-err
