Abstract: Around 2016, Calinescu, Milas and Penn conjectured that the rank r Nahm sum associated with the r × r tadpole Cartan matrix is modular, and they provided a proof for r = 2. The r = 3 case was recently resolved by Milas and Wang. We prove this conjecture for the next cases r = 4 , 5. We also prove the modularity of some companion Nahm sums by establishing the corresponding Rogers–Ramanujan type identities. A key new ingredient in our proofs is some rank reduction formulas which allow us to decompose higher rank tadpole Nahm sums to mixed products of some lower rank Nahm-type sums and theta functions.
