Abstract

In this short note, we prove equidistribution results regarding three families of three-colour partitions recently introduced by Schlosser and Zhou. To do so, we prove an asymptotic formula for the infinite product Fa,c(ζ;ez):=n0(1ζe(a+cn)z)F_{a,c}(\zeta ; {\rm e}^{-z}) := \prod_{n \geq 0} \big(1- \zeta {\rm e}^{-(a+cn)z}\big) (a,cNa,c \in \mathbb{N} with 0<ac0<a\leq c and ζ\zeta a root of unity) when zz lies in certain sectors in the right half-plane, which may be useful in studying similar problems. As a corollary, we obtain the asymptotic behaviour of the three-colour partition families at hand.
