"Partitions
with non-Repeating Odd Parts –
q-Hypergeometric and Combinatorial Identities"
By
(University of Florida)
Abstract:
By studying partitions
with non-repeating odd parts using representations in terms of 2-modular graphs,
we first derive a Lebesgue type q-series identity and
use this to give a unified treatment of several fundamental identities in the theory of q-hypergeometric series. Next we study these partitions combinatorially and obtain new weighted partition
identities. Consequences include a combinatorial proof of a modular relation
for the Gollnitz-Gordon functions, and a new
derivation of a shifted partition identity due to Andrews. Finally we discuss
some new parity results and hint at a theory of basis partitions.
