Bijective Approaches for Schmidt-Type Theorems

Combinatorics 2022-10-17 v2

Abstract

We provide new Schmidt-type results through an investigation of two bijections, which are results involving partitions with parts counted only at given indices. Mork's bijection, the first of these, was originally given as a proof of Schmidt's theorem. We show that a version of Sylvester's bijection is equivalent to Mork's bijection applied to 2-modular diagrams, which implies refinements of existing results and new generating function identities. We then develop a bijection based on an idea appearing in a recent paper of Andrews and Keith, that places partitions counted at the indices rr, t+rt+r, 2t+r,2t+r, \dots in correspondence with tt-colored partitions. This leads to a substantial generalization of an identity of Bridges and Uncu, and complements a similar investigation of Li and Yee.
