Applications of Fa\`{a} di Bruno's formula to partition traces

Number Theory 2025-07-02 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We revisit several partition-theoretic generating functions, including the theta quotients from Ramanujan's lost notebook, MacMahon's partition functions, and reciprocal sums of parts in partitions, through the lens of the classical Fa\`{a} di Bruno formula. This approach offers a unified and natural reinterpretation of known results and provides a systematic framework for deriving new identities of a similar type.
