Abstract

We compute the Quot and finitized Coh zeta functions of the inert quadratic orders Fq[[T]]+TmFq2[[T]]\mathbb{F}_q[[T]]+T^{m}\mathbb{F}_{q^{2}}[[T]] for every m1m\geq 1 in terms of a 2m2m-fold multisum, and then show this multisum equals an mm-fold Bressoud sum. This proves a recent conjecture of the second author, rounding up the line of exploration in the series of work by the authors and Jiang. The equality between the 2m2m-fold multisum and the mm-fold Bressoud sum is built upon generalizing the multisum by introducing a ``ghost'' parameter aa to its summands. We then show that such an aa-generalization is surprisingly aa-independent by purely qq-theoretic techniques. Finally, we propose a refined multisum that interpolates two versions of Quot zeta functions for all three types of quadratic orders.
