Abstract
The Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon identities generalize the classical partition identities discovered independently by L. J. Rogers and S. Ramanujan. In 2021, Afsharijoo provided a commutative algebra proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon identities. Building on the Afsharijoo's approach, we present a commutative algebra proof of a broader family of identities introduced by Coulson \textit{et al.}, which includes the Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon identities as a special case. In the proof, we relate the generating functions associated with these identities to the Hilbert-Poincar\'e series of suitably constructed graded algebras.
