چکیده

We prove new double summation hypergeometric q-series representations for several families of partitions, including those that appear in the famous product identities of Göllnitz, Gordon, and Schur. We give several different proofs for our results, using bijective partitions mappings and modular diagrams, the theory of q-difference equations and recurrences, and the theories of summation and transformation for q-series. We also consider a general family of similar double series and highlight a number of other interesting special cases.

Partition identity bijections related to sign-balance and rank

In this thesis, we present bijections proving partitions identities. In the first part, we generalize Dyson's definition of rank to partitions with successive Durfee squares. We then present two symmetries for this new rank which we prove using bijections generalizing conjugation and Dyson's map. Using these two symmetries we derive a version of Schur's identity for partitions with successive D...

A Double Bounded Version of Schur's Partition Theorem

Schur's partition theorem states that the number of partitions of n into distinct parts ≡ 1, 2 (mod 3) equals the number of partitions of n into parts which differ by 3, where the inequality is strict if a part is a multiple of 3. We establish a double bounded refined version of this theorem by imposing one bound on the parts ≡ 0, 1 (mod 3) and another on the parts ≡ 2(mod 3), and by keeping tr...

On Series Expansions of Capparelli’s Infinite Product

Using Lie theory, Stefano Capparelli conjectured an interesting Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity in his 1988 Rutgers Ph.D. thesis. The first proof was given by George Andrews, using combinatorial methods. Later, Capparelli was able to provide a Lie theoretic proof. Most combinatorial Rogers-Ramanujan type identities (e.g. the Göllnitz-Gordon identities, Gordon’s combinatorial generaliza...

Overpartition Theorems of the Rogers-ramanujan Type

We give one-parameter overpartition-theoretic analogues of two classical families of partition identities: Andrews’ combinatorial generalization of the Gollnitz-Gordon identities and a theorem of Andrews and Santos on partitions with attached odd parts. We also discuss geometric counterparts arising from multiple q-series identities. These involve representations of overpartitions in terms of g...

Partition Identities and a Theorem of Zagier

In partition theory and q-series, one often seeks identities between series and infinite products. Using a recent result of Zagier, we obtain such identities for every positive integer m. For example if m = 1, then we obtain the classical Eisenstein series identity X λ≥1 odd (−1)(λ−1)/2qλ (1− q2λ) = q ∞ Y n=1 (1− q8n)4 (1− q4n)2 . If m = 2 and · 3 denotes the usual Legendre symbol modulo 3, the...
