Summary

We obtain a series expansion for the product generating function of partitions in which the odd parts do not repeat. This is done by studying the 2-modular Ferrers graphs of such partitions via Durfee squares. This provides a unified approach to several fundamental identities in the theory of partitions and q-series such as those of Sylvester, Lebesgue, Gauss, and Rogers-Fine, and provides links with Göllnitz’s deep theorem.

Fußnoten
1
It is worthwhile to note that under dilations (in this case qq 2) and translations, the underlying combinatorics can change and this is non-trivial; in going from Theorem 1 to Theorem 2, the surjection changed to a bijection.
