We derive by analytic means a number of bilateral identities of the Rogers--Ramanujan type. Our results include bilateral extensions of the Rogers--Ramanujan and the G\"ollnitz-Gordon identities, and of related identities by Ramanujan,…
We extend partition-theoretic work of Andrews, Bressoud, and Burge to overpartitions, defining the notions of successive ranks, generalized Durfee squares, and generalized lattice paths, and then relating these to overpartitions defined by…
Ramanujan wrote the following identity \begin{align*} \sqrt{2 \left(1 - \frac{1}{3^2}\right) \left(1 - \frac{1}{7^2}\right) \left(1 - \frac{1}{11^2}\right) \left(1 - \frac{1}{19^2}\right)} \ = \ \left(1 + \frac{1}{7}\right) \left(1 +…
It is well-known that the value of the Frobenius-Schur indicator $|G|^{-1} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g^2)=\pm1$ of a real irreducible representation of a finite group $G$ determines which of the two types of real representations it belongs to,…
Recently Andrews and Bachraoui proved identities relating certain restricted partitions into distinct even parts with restricted 4-regular partitions by the theory of basic hypergeometric series. They also posed a question regarding…
It is an open question whether tight closure commutes with localization in quotients of a polynomial ring in finitely many variables over a field. Katzman showed that tight closure of ideals in these rings commutes with localization at one…
In this work, we start an investigation of asymmetric Rogers--Ramanujan type identities. The first object is the following unexpected relation $$\sum_{n\ge 0} \frac{(-1)^n q^{3\binom{n}{2}+4n}(q;q^3)_n}{(q^9;q^9)_n} =…
We use geometry to prove a number of new identities among the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients for Schubert polynomials (Schubert classes in a flag manifold). For many of these identities, there is a companion result about the Bruhat…
Over a Noetherian, local ring R of prime characteristic p, the Frobenius functor F induces a diagonalizable map on certain quotients of rational Grothendieck groups. This leads to an explicit formula for the Dutta multiplicity, and it is…
Let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over a perfect field k of characteristic p>0 and let F:R\to R be the Frobenius map of R, i.e. F(r)=r^p. We explicitly describe an R-module isomorphism Hom_R(F_*(M),N)\cong…
We present q-series proofs of four identities involving sixth order mock theta functions from Ramanujan's lost notebook. We also show how Ramanujan's identities can be used to give a quick proof of four sixth order identities of Berndt and…
In this survey article, we present an expanded version of Lucy Slater's famous list of identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type, including identities of similar type, which were discovered after the publication of Slater's papers, and older…
In 1987, C. Sabbah proved the existence of Bernstein-Sato polynomials associated with several analytic functions. The purpose of this article is to give a more elementary and constructive proof of the result of C. Sabbah based on the notion…
We resolve the open problem of characterizing the Frobenius number $g(A)$ for shifted square sequences $A = (a, a+1^2, \ldots, a+k^2)$, confirming a conjecture of Einstein et al. (2007). By combining a combinatorial reduction to an…
A partition of a finite abelian group gives rise to a dual partition on the character group via the Fourier transform. Properties of the dual partitions are investigated and a convenient test is given for the case that the bidual partition…
In this paper we give a computer proof of a new polynomial identity, which extends a recent result of Alladi and the first author. In addition, we provide computer proofs for new finite analogs of Jacobi and Euler formulas. All computer…
The signatures of polynomials were originally introduced by Faug\`{e}re for the efficient computation of Gr\"obner bases [Fau02], and redefined by Arri-Perry [AP11] as the standard monomials modulo the module of syzygies. Since it is…
The Rota--Heron--Welsh conjecture (now a theorem of Adiprasito, Huh, and the author) asserts the log-concavity of the characteristic polynomial of matroids. We give an exposition of the Lorentzian polynomial proof following the work of…
In his 1984 AMS Memoir, George Andrews defined the family of $k$--colored generalized Frobenius partition functions. These are denoted by $c\phi_k(n)$ where $k\geq 1$ is the number of colors in question. In that Memoir, Andrews proved…
One of the celebrated formulas of Ramanujan is about odd zeta values, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. A notable extension was given by Grosswald in 1972. Following Ramanujan's idea, we rediscovered a…
