In 1958, Richard Guy proved that the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts greater than one equals the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts with no powers of 2 allowed, which is closely related to Euler's famous theorem that the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. We consider extensions of Guy's result, which naturally lead to a new algorithm for producing bijections between various equivalent partition ideals of order 1, as well as to two new infinite families of parity results which follow from Euler's Pentagonal Number Theorem and a well-known series-product identity of Jacobi.

Andrews and Merca investigated a truncated version of Euler's pentagonal number theorem and showed that the coefficients of the truncated series are nonnegative. They also considered the truncated series arising from Jacobi's triple product identity, and they conjectured that its coefficients are nonnegative. This conjecture was posed by Guo and Zeng independently and confirmed by Mao and Yee using different approaches. In this paper, we provide a new combinatorial proof of their nonnegativity result related to Euler's pentagonal number theorem. Meanwhile, we find an analogous result for a truncated series arising from Jacobi's triple product identity in a different manner.

The authors establish a set of six new theta-function identities involving multivariable R-functions which are based upon a number of q-product identities and Jacobi’s celebrated triple-product identity. These theta-function identities depict the inter-relationships that exist among theta-function identities and combinatorial partition-theoretic identities. Here, in this paper, we consider and relate the multivariable R-functions to several interesting q-identities such as (for example) a number of q-product identities and Jacobi’s celebrated triple-product identity. Various recent developments on the subject-matter of this article as well as some of its potential application areas are also briefly indicated. Finally, we choose to further emphasize upon some close connections with combinatorial partition-theoretic identities and present a presumably open problem.

AbstractBy means of Liouville's theorem, we show that Euler's pentagonal number theorem implies the Jacobi triple product identity.

We derive the general series-product identities from which we deduce several applications, including an identity of Gauss, the generalization of Winquist's identity by Carlitz and Subbarao, an identity for [Formula: see text], the quintuple product identity, and the octuple product identity.

The main results of this paper are two infinite families of series-product identities which are based on a classical Gauss identity and two different interpretations of characters of fundamental modules for the affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra [Formula: see text], one of them stemming from a boson–fermionic realization of the affine Lie algebra [Formula: see text].
