Abstract

Inspired by a number of recent papers by Corteel, Dousse, Foda, Uncu and Welsh on cylindric partitions and Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities, we obtain the A2\mathrm{A}_2 (or A2(1)\mathrm{A}_2^{(1)}) analogues of the celebrated Andrews-Gordon identities. We further prove qq-series identities that correspond to the infinite-level limit of the Andrews-Gordon identities for Ar1\mathrm{A}_{r-1} (or Ar1(1)\mathrm{A}_{r-1}^{(1)}) for arbitrary rank rr. Our results for A2\mathrm{A}_2 also lead to conjectural, manifestly positive, combinatorial formulas for the 22-variable generating function of cylindric partitions of rank 33 and level dd, such that dd is not a multiple of 33.
