Algebraic Dilogarithm Identities
Authors:Gordon  Basil  Mcintosh  Richard J.
Abstract:The Rogers L-function 
$$L(x) = sumlimits_{n = 1}^infty {frac{{x^n }} {{n^2 }} + frac{1} {2}log x} log (1 - x) $$
satisfies the functional equation 
$$L(x) + L(y) = L(xy) + Lleft( {frac{{x(1 - y)}} {{1 - xy}}} right) + Lleft( {frac{{y(1 - x)}} {{1 - xy}}} right) $$
.From this we derive several other such equations, including Euler's identity L(x)+L(1-x)=L(1) and various identities arising from summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series. We also obtain some new equations of the form 
$$sumlimits_{k = 0}^n {c_k L(theta ^k ) = 0} $$
where theta is algebraic and the ck are integers.
Keywords:dilogarithm  basic hypergeometric series  q-series
