We derive several identities involving Ikeda and Naruse’s K-theoretic Schur P- and Q-functions. Our main result is a formula conjectured by Lewis and the second author which expands each K-theoretic Schur Q-function in terms of K-theoretic Schur P-functions. This formula extends to some more general identities relating the skew and dual versions of both power series. We also prove a shifted version of Yeliussizov’s skew Cauchy identity for symmetric Grothendieck polynomials. Finally, we discuss some conjectural formulas for the dual K-theoretic Schur P- and Q-functions of Nakagawa and Naruse. We show that one such formula would imply a basis property expected of the K-theoretic Schur Q-functions.
