Abstract

We study the Andrews-Schilling-Warnaar sum-sides for the principal characters of standard (i.e., integrable, highest weight) modules of A2(1)\mathrm{A}_2^{(1)}. These characters have been studied recently by various subsets of Corteel, Dousse, Foda, Uncu, Warnaar and Welsh. We prove complete sets of identities for moduli 55 through 88 and 1010, in Andrews-Schilling-Warnaar form. The cases of moduli 66 and 1010 are new. Our methods depend on the Corteel-Welsh recursions governing the cylindric partitions and on certain relations satisfied by the Andrews-Schilling-Warnaar sum-sides. We speculate on the role of the latter in the proofs of higher modulus identities. Further, we provide a complete set of conjectures for modulus 99. In fact, we show that at any given modulus, a complete set of conjectures may be deduced using a subset of "seed" conjectures. These seed conjectures are obtained by appropriately truncating conjectures for the "infinite" level. Additionally, for moduli 3k3k, we use an identity of Weierstrass to deduce new sum-product identities starting from the results of Andrews-Schilling-Warnaar.
