New Weighted Partition Identities, the Smallest Part of Partition and all that

When/Where:

Abstract:

I explain how to  use the q-binomial theorem, the q-Gauss sum, and the   transformation of Jackson to discover and prove many new weighted partition identities.These identities involve unrestricted partitions, over-partitions and partitions with distinct even parts. Smallest part of the partitions plays an important role in this analysis.

This talk is based on my joint work with Ali Uncu.
