for complex numbers x and y, with |x| < 1 and y ≠ 0. It was introduced by Jacobi (1829) in his work Fundamenta Nova Theoriae Functionum Ellipticarum.
The Jacobi triple product identity is the Macdonald identity for the affine root system of type A1, and is the Weyl denominator formula for the corresponding affine Kac–Moody algebra.
