Basis Partitions and Their Signature

Basis partitions are minimal partitions corresponding to successive rank vectors. We show combinatorially how basis partitions can be generated from primary partitions, which are equivalent to the Rogers-Ramanujan partitions. This leads to the definition of a signature of a basis partition that we u...

description Basis partitions are minimal partitions corresponding to successive rank vectors. We show combinatorially how basis partitions can be generated from primary partitions, which are equivalent to the Rogers-Ramanujan partitions. This leads to the definition of a signature of a basis partition that we use to explain certain parity results. We then study a special class of basis partitions, which we term complete. Finally, we discuss basis partitions and minimal basis partitions among partitions with non-repeating odd parts by representing them using 2-modular graphs.

This work, which was begun in 2007, was completed only in Fall 2013 when I visited The Pennsylvania State University, at which time the results of Section 9 were established. I would like to thank George Andrews for arranging that visit and for urging me to write this manuscript, which was long overdue. But this paper remained unpublished since 2013. I thank Gaurav Bhatnagar, Frank Garvan, Christian Krattenthaler, and Michael Schlosser for including this paper in the special volume of SIGMA in honor of Steve Milne’s 75th birthday. Finally, I thank the referees for their careful reading of the manuscript and for their helpful suggestions. Research supported in part by NSA Grants MSPF-06G-150 and MSPF-08G-154.
