We describe the story of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities; being known for 85 years and having about 130 pure mathematics proofs, suddenly entering physics when Rodney Baxter solved the Hard Hexagon Model in Statistical Mechanics in 1980. We…
I show that a conjecture of Joshi-Rajan on primes of Hodge-Witt reduction and in particular a conjecture of Jean-Pierre Serre on primes of good, ordinary reduction for an abelian variety over a number field follows from a certain conjecture…
In 2012, Peter Paule and Cristian-Silviu Radu proved an infinite family of Ramanujan type congruences for $2$-colored Frobenius partitions $c\phi_2$ introduced by George Andrews. Recently, Frank Garvan, James Sellers and Nicolas Smoot…
Given integers $\ell > m >0$, we define monic polynomials $X_n$, $Y_n$, and $Z_n$ with the property that $\mu$ is a zero of $X_n$ if and only if the triple $(\mu,\mu+m,\mu+\ell)$ satisfies $x^n + y^n = z^n$. It is shown that the…
We prove some polynomial identities from which we deduce congruences modulo $p^2$ for the Fermat quotient $\frac{2^p-2}{p}$ for any odd prime $p$ (Proposition 1 and Theorem 1). These congruences are simpler than the one obtained by…
In 1971, Ruzsa conjectured that if $f:\ \mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ with $f(n+k)\equiv f(n)$ mod $k$ for every $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and $f(n)=O(\theta^n)$ with $\theta<e$ then $f$ is a polynomial. In this paper, we investigate the…
We give a commutative algebra viewpoint on Andrews recursive formula for the partitions appearing in "Gordon's identities", which are a generalization of Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Using this approach and differential ideals we conjecture…
Let G be a Frobenius group with the Frobenius kernel N. Applying character theory, G. Frobenius proved that N was a normal subgroup of G in the year 1901. This is a celebrated application of the character theory of finite groups. In this…
We provide a generalization of the Littlewood identity, both sides of which are related to alternating sign matrices. The classical Littlewood identity establishes a nice product formula for the sum of all Schur polynomials. Compared to the…
A multiparameter generalization of the Bailey pair is defined in such a way as to include as special cases all Bailey pairs considered by W. N. Bailey in his paper, "Identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type," [Proc. London Math. Soc. (2), 50…
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a survey of properties, values, identities, and generalizations of the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction, which is closely related to the Rogers--Ramanujan identities. Many of these results…
A relationship between signed Eulerian polynomials and the classical Eulerian polynomials on $\mathfrak{S}_n$ was given by D\'{e}sarm\'{e}nien and Foata in 1992, and a refined version, called signed Euler-Mahonian identity, together with a…
Ramanujan recorded five interesting q-series identities in a section that is not as systematically arranged as the other chapters of his second notebook. These five identities do not seem to have acquired enough attention. Recently, Dixit…
We give a series of recursive identities for the number of partitions with exactly $k$ parts and with constraints on both the minimal difference among the parts and the minimal part. Using these results we demonstrate that the number of…
We prove two new summation formulae of Hall-Littlewood polynomials over partitions into bounded parts and derive some new multiple $q$-identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type.
We describe three computer searches (in PARI/GP, Maple, and Mathematica, respectively) which led to the discovery of a number of identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type and identities of false theta functions.
By generalizing Frobenius' polynomial method to good partition algebra, we will develop new character theories for a finite group $G$. A uniform defining equations are derived for these kinds of character theories. The new character…
We compute the one-dimensional configuration sums of the ABF model using the fermionic technique introduced in part I of this paper. Combined with the results of Andrews, Baxter and Forrester, we find proof of polynomial identities for…
We show that a strange group theoretical formula of Hall follows from the Rogers-Ramanujan identities.
Transformation formulas for four-parameter refinements of the q-trinomial coefficients are proven. The iterative nature of these transformations allows for the easy derivation of several infinite series of q-trinomial identities, and can be…
