The product sides of the Rogers--Ramanujan identities and alike often appear to be "transparently modular" (functions). The old work by Rogers (1894) and recent work by Rosengren make use (somewhat implicitly) of this fact for proving the…
Recently Cherednik and Feigin obtained several Rogers-Ramanujan type identities via the nilpotent double affine Hecke algebras (Nil-DAHA). These identities further led to a series of dilogarithm identities, some of which are known, while…
In this paper, by the technique of inverse relations and comparing coefficients, we establish some generalized forms of Andrews' q-series identity and two new Bailey pairs and q-identities closely related to Andrews-Warnaar's sum identity…
We show that the differences between various concordance invariants of knots, including Rasmussen's $s$-invariant and its generalizations $s_n$-invariants, give lower bounds to the Turaev genus of knots. Using the fact that our bounds are…
This paper builds a novel bridge between algebraic coding theory and mathematical knot theory, with applications in both directions. We give methods to construct error-correcting codes starting from the colorings of a knot, describing…
We present an elementary introduction to one of the most important today knot theory approaches, which gives rise to a representation for a class of knot polynomials in terms of quantum groups. Historically, the approach was at the same…
The object of this paper is to propose and prove a new generalization of the Andrews-Gordon identities, extending a recent result of Garrett, Ismail and Stanton. We also give a combinatorial discussion of the finite form of their result,…
The dilute A$_3$ lattice model in regime 2 is in the universality class of the Ising model in a magnetic field. Here we establish directly the existence of an E$_8$ structure in the dilute A$_3$ model in this regime by expressing the…
Basil Gordon, in the sixties, and George Andrews, in the seventies, generalized the Rogers-Ramanujan identities to higher moduli. These identities arise in many areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. One of these areas is…
In this paper, we present a new Rogers--Ramanujan type identity for overpartitions by extending the asymmetrical version of Schur's theorem due to Lovejoy to a broader class of infinite products. More precisely, we provide a combinatorial…
We examine an identity originally stated in Ramanujan's ``lost notebook'' and first proven algebraically by Andrews and combinatorially by Kim. We give two independent combinatorial proofs and interpretations of this identity, which also…
Continuing the work of Zemke, Livingston and Allen, we consider when linear combinations of torus knots are concordant to $L$-space knots. We begin by proving Allen's conjecture for alternating torus knots. That is, we prove that a linear…
A multilateral Bailey Lemma is proved, and multiple analogues of the Rogers--Ramanujan identities and Euler's Pentagonal Theorem are constructed as applications. The extreme cases of the Andrews--Gordon identities are also generalized using…
A new sums-of-tails identity involving two parameters $b$ and $d$ is obtained and is used to derive more results of similar type. One of Ramanujan's sums-of-tails identities from the Lost Notebook is shown to be a special case of our…
We extend the theory of Vassiliev (or finite type) invariants for knots to knotoids using two different approaches. Firstly, we take closures on knotoids to obtain knots and we use the Vassiliev invariants for knots, proving that these are…
We consider an identity relating Fibonacci numbers to Pascal's triangle discovered by G. E. Andrews. Several authors provided proofs of this identity, most of them rather involved or else relying on sophisticated number theoretical…
We show that a strange group theoretical formula of Hall follows from the Rogers-Ramanujan identities.
We explain the appearance of Rogers-Ramanujan series inside the tensor product of two basic $A_2^{(2)}$-modules, previously discovered by the first author in [F]. The key new ingredients are $(5,6)$ Virasoro minimal models and twisted…
The fundamental problem of knot theory is to know whether two knots are equivalent or not. As a tool to prove that two knots are different, mathematicians have developed various invariants. Knots invariants are just functions that can be…
Roberts proved that a family of alternating, arborescent, prime knots each have at least $2^{2n-1}$ distinct minimal genus Seifert surfaces, where $n$ is the genus of the knot in question. We give a subfamily of these knots that have…
