Abstract

The tail of a sequence {Pn(q)}nN\{P_n(q)\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} of formal power series in Z[[q]]\mathbb{Z}[[q]] is the formal power series whose first nn coefficients agree up to a common sign with the first nn coefficients of PnP_n. This paper studies the tail of a sequence of admissible trivalent graphs with edges colored nn or 2n2n. We use local skein relations to understand and compute the tail of these graphs. We also give product formulas for the tail of such trivalent graphs. Furthermore, we show that our skein theoretic techniques naturally lead to a proof for the Andrews-Gordon identities for the two variable Ramanujan theta function as well to corresponding identities for the false theta function.
