Abstract

In this paper, we study the partition theory over totally real number fields. Let KK be a totally real number field. A partition of a totally positive algebraic integer δ\delta over KK is λ=(λ1,λ2,,λr)\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_r) for some totally positive integers λi\lambda_i such that δ=λ1+λ2++λr\delta=\lambda_1+\lambda_2+\cdots+\lambda_r. We find an identity to explain the number of partitions of δ\delta whose parts do not belong to a given ideal a\mathfrak a. We obtain a generalization of the Euler-Glaisher Theorem over totally real number fields as a corollary. We also prove that the number of solutions to the equation δ=x1+2x2++nxn\delta=x_1+2x_2+\cdots+nx_n with xix_i totally positive or 00 is equal to that of chain partitions of δ\delta. A chain partition of δ\delta is a partition λ=(λ1,λ2,,λr)\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_r) of δ\delta such that λi+1λi\lambda_{i+1}-\lambda_i is totally positive or 00.
