On q-Series Identities Related to Interval Orders

Combinatorics 2013-09-27 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We prove several power series identities involving the refined generating function of interval orders, as well as the refined generating function of the self-dual interval orders. These identities may be expressed as n0(1/p;1/q)n=n0pqn(p;q)n(q;q)n\sum_{n\ge 0}(1/p;1/q)_n= \sum_{n\ge 0} pq^n(p;q)_n(q;q)_n and n0(1)n(1/p;1/q)n=n0pqn(p;q)n(q;q)n=n0(q/p)n(p;q2)n\sum_{n\ge 0} (-1)^n(1/p;1/q)_n= \sum_{n\ge 0} pq^n(p;q)_n(-q;q)_n =\sum_{n\ge 0} (q/p)^n(p;q^2)_n, where the equalities apply to the (purely formal) power series expansions of the above expressions at p=q=1p=q=1, as well as at other suitable roots of unity.
