The Tri-pentagonal Number Theorem and Related Identities

نویسنده

چکیده

Abstract. I revisit an automated proof of Andrews’ pentagonal number theorem found by Riese. I uncover a simple polynomial identity hidden behind his proof. I explain how to use this identity to prove Andrews’ result along with a variety of new formulas of similar type. I reveal an interesting relation between the tri-pentagonal theorem and items (19), (20), (94), (98) on the celebrated Slater list. Finally, I establish a new infinite family of multiple series identities.

s 1. Fisseha Abebe, Clark Atlanta University Distance Metric for Protein Partitions The composition of proteins in terms of amino-acid sequences within three protein theoretical families: serine, leucine, and valine, with respective sizes of 8, 7, and 5 amino acids, have been studied using combinatorial methods. All possible partitions are examined, and a metric is defined to measure the distan...

Further Multivariate Generalizations of Euler’s Pentagonal Number Theorem and the Rogers-ramanujan Identities

We use the idea of index invariance under the Franklin mapping to prove higher power generalizations of two results discovered by M. V. Subbarao. We then apply similar ideas to a two-variable generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities due to G. E. Andrews.

Bijections and Congruences for Generalizations of Partition Identities of Euler and Guy

In 1958, Richard Guy proved that the number of partitions of n into odd parts greater than one equals the number of partitions of n into distinct parts with no powers of 2 allowed, which is closely related to Euler’s famous theorem that the number of partitions of n into odd parts equals the number of partitions of n into distinct parts. We consider extensions of Guy’s result, which naturally l...

Virasoro Algebra, Dedekind η-function and Specialized Macdonald’s Identities

We motivate and prove a series of identities which form a generalization of the Euler’s pentagonal number theorem, and are closely related to specialized Macdonald’s identities for powers of the Dedekind η–function. More precisely, we show that what we call “denominator formula” for the Virasoro algebra has “higher analogue” for all cs,t-minimal models. We obtain one identity per series which i...
