An overpartition analogue of Bressoud conjecture for even moduli

Abstract

In 1980, Bressoud conjectured a combinatorial identity Aj=BjA_j=B_j for j=0j=0 or 11. In this paper, we introduce a new partition function B0\overline{B}_0 which can be viewed as an overpartition analogue of the partition function B0B_0. An overpartition is a partition such that the last occurrence of a part can be overlined. We build a bijection to get a relationship between B0\overline{B}_0 and B1B_1, based on which an overpartition analogue of Bressoud's conjecture for j=0j=0 is obtained.
