We introduce a new general
conjugate Bailey pair which bridges the gap between Bailey and Slater’s work and
the work done recently by Andrews and Warnaar. With this new general pair we are
able to find many useful conjugate Bailey pairs similar to those of Andrews and
Warnaar. Using our new pairs we show results related to the sums of triangular
numbers, indefinite quadratic forms and partition identities. We close with a
brief discussion of the many other paths that can and will be taken in the
future.
