Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
Given g.f. A(x), the right side of Cayley's identity is 2 * q * A(q^2). - Michael Somos, Dec 03 2013
Proof of Cayley's identity, from Silviu Radu, Mar 13 2015: (Start)
Up to issues of convergence I observe that the identity may be rewritten after substituting q=e^{2 Pi Iz} as:
E(28z)^(-1) x E(14z)^2 x E(7z)^(-1) x E(4z)^(-1) x E(2z)^2 x E(z)^(-1) -E(14z)^(-1) x E(7z) x E(2z)^(-1) x E(z) = 2 E(28z) x E(14z)^(-1) x E(4z) x E(2z)^(-1)
where E(z)= exp( Pi I z/12) Product_{n>=1} (1-e^{2 Pi I z n}) is the Dedekind eta function.
One can further rewrite the above identity by dividing the whole identity by the first term. We obtain:
1-E(28z) x E(14z)^(-3) x E(7z)^2 x E(4z) x E(2z)^(-3) x E(z)^2
-2 E(28z)^2 x E(14z)^(-3) x E(7z) x E(4z)^2 x E(2z)^(-3) x E(z)=0
What is interesting now about this expression is that each term is a modular function for the group Gamma_0(28).
Furthermore, all the terms except the constant term have two poles, therefore the whole left hand side has at most two poles (at the points z=1/14 and z=1/2).
However we check that in the q-expansion the first three coefficients are zero, which implies that the left hand side also has a zero of order at least three at the point infinity (note that z=I x infty transforms into q=0, q=e^(2 Pi iz} ).
It is impossible that a nonzero modular function has more zeros than poles, therefore it is the zero function. This finishes the proof. (End)

FORMULA
Expansion of q^(-1/3) * (eta(q^2) * eta(q^14)) / (eta(q) * eta(q^7)) in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 14 sequence [ 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, ...].
Given g.f. A(x), then B(q) = q * A(q^3) satisfies 0 = f(B(q), B(q^2)) where f(u, v) = u^2 - v - 2*u*v^2.
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (126 t)) = 1/2 * g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. of A102314. - Michael Somos, Dec 03 2013
G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 + x^k) * (1 + x^(7*k)).
