Locally uniform convergence and analytic Jacobi triple product #
We prove that both sides of the Jacobi triple product (JTP) identity converge locally uniformly for $\|q\| < 1$ on $\{z \neq 0\}$, and deduce the analytic JTP: the identity holds for all $\|q\| < 1$ and $z \neq 0$ (removing the earlier restriction $\|z\| < 1$).

Ratio-test core for the Weierstrass M-test bounds appearing in the Jacobi triple
product: for ‖q‖ < 1 the family k ↦ c ^ (k + j) * ‖q‖ ^ (k + 2 * j).choose 2 is summable
for every real c and every shift j.

Analytic Jacobi triple product identity. For $\|q\| < 1$ and $z \neq 0$: $$(q;q)_\infty \cdot (-z;q)_\infty \cdot (-q/z;q)_\infty \;=\; \sum_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} z^k \, q^{k(k-1)/2}.$$
This extends the basic JTP (which required $\|z\| < 1$) to all $z \neq 0$ using the functional equation $f(qz) = f(z)/z$ satisfied by both sides.
