The $(k,l)$-Euler theorem and the combinatorics of $(k,l)$-sequences
Abstract
In 1997, Bousquet-M\'elou and Eriksson stated a broad generalization of Euler's distinct-odd partition theorem, namely the -Euler theorem. Their identity involved the -lecture-hall partitions, which, unlike usual difference conditions of partitions in Rogers-Ramanujan type identities, satisfy some ratio constraints. In a 2008 paper, in response to a question suggested by Richard Stanley, Savage and Yee provided a simple bijection for the -lecture-hall partitions (the case ), whose specialization in corresponds to Sylvester's bijection. Subsequently, as an open question, a generalization of their bijection was suggested for the case . In the spirit of Savage and Yee's work, we provide and prove in this paper slight variations of the suggested bijection, not only for the case but also for the cases and with . Furthermore, we show that our bijections equal the recursive bijections given by Bousquet-M\'elou and Eriksson in their recursive proof of the -lecture hall and finally provide the analogous recursive bijection for the -Euler theorem.
