Abstract

For all positive integers k,l,nk,l,n, the Little Glaisher theorem states that the number of partitions of nn into parts not divisible by kk and occurring less than ll times is equal to the number of partitions of nn into parts not divisible by ll and occurring less than kk times. While this refinement of Glaisher theorem is easy to establish by computation of the generating function, there is still no one-to-one canonical correspondence explaining it. Our paper brings an answer to this open problem through an arithmetical approach. Furthermore, in the case l=2l=2, we discuss the possibility of constructing a Schur-type companion of the Little Glaisher theorem via the weighted words.
