Abstract

Motivated by spin modular representations of the symmetric groups, we propose two generalizations of the Schur regular partitions for an odd integer p3p\geq 3. One forms a subset of the set of pp-strict partitions, and the other forms that of strict partitions. We prove that each set has a basic Ap1(2)A^{(2)}_{p-1}-crystal structure. For p=3p=3, it reproves Schur's 1926 partition theorem, a mod 6 analog of Rogers-Ramanujan partition theorem (RRPT). For p=5p=5, it gives a computer-free proof of a conjecture by Andrews during his 3-parameter generalization of RRPT, which was first proved by Andrews-Bessenrodt-Olsson.
