Combinatorics of Integer Partitions With Prescribed Perimeter

Combinatorics 2022-04-07 v1

Abstract

We prove that the number of even parts and the number of times that parts are repeated have the same distribution over integer partitions with a fixed perimeter. This refines Straub's analog of Euler's Odd-Distinct partition theorem. We generalize the two concerned statistics to these of the part-difference less than dd and the parts not congruent to 11 modulo d+1d+1 and prove a distribution inequality, that has a similar flavor as Alder's ex-conjecture, over partitions with a prescribed perimeter. Both of our results are proved analytically and combinatorially.
