1 RANK DIFFERENCES FOR OVERPARTITIONS JEREMY LOVEJOY AND ROBERT OSBURN Abstract In 1954 Atkin Swinnerton-Dyer proved Dyson s conjectures on the rank of a partition by establishing formulas for the generating functions for rank differences in arithmetic progressions In this paper we prove formulas for the generating functions for rank differences for overpartitions These are in terms of modular functions generalized Lambert series 1 Introduction The rank of a partition is the largest part minus the number of parts This statistic was introduced by Dyson [14] who observed empirically that it provided a combinatorial explanation for Ramanujan s congruences p(5n + 4) 0 (mod 5) p(7n + 5) 0 (mod 7) Here p(n) denotes the usual partition function Specifically Dyson conjectured that if N(s m n) denotes the number of partitions of n whose rank is congruent to s modulo m then for all 0 s 4 0 t 6 we have p(5n + 4) N(s 5 5n + 4) = 5 p(7n + 5) N(t 7 7n + 5) = 7 Atkin Swinnerton-Dyer proved these assertions in 1954 [3] In fact they proved much more establishing generating functions for every rank difference N(s l ln + d) N(t l ln + d) with l = 5 or 7 0 d s t < l Many of these turned out to be non-trivially 0 while others were infinite products still others were generalized Lambert series related to Ramanujan s third order mock theta functions Such formulas in the case l = 11 were subsequently given by Atkin Hussain [2] in a similar (though technically far more difficult) manner Dyson s rank extends in the obvious way to overpartitions Recall that an overpartition [10] is simply a partition in which the first occurrence of each distinct number may be overlined For example the 14 overpartitions of 4 are Overpartitions (often under other names) naturally arise in diverse areas of mathematics where partitions already occur such as mathematical physics [15 16] symmetric functions [4 13] representation theory [20] algebraic number theory [21 23] In the study of basic hypergeometric series Dyson s rank for overpartitions its generalizations play an important role in combinatorial studies of Rogers-Ramanujan type identities [ ] Date: May Mathematics Subject Classification Primary: 11P81 05A17; Secondary: 33D15 The first author was partially supported by an ACI Jeunes Chercheurs et Jeunes Chercheuses 1
2 2 JEREMY LOVEJOY AND ROBERT OSBURN As for arithmetic properties let N(s m n) be the number of overpartitions of n with Dyson s rank congruent to s modulo m It has recently been shown [5] that if u is any natural number m is odd l 5 is a prime such that l 6m or l j = m then there are infinitely many non-nested arithmetic progressions An + B such that N(s m An + B) 0 (mod l u ) for all 0 s < m This is analogous to congruences involving Dyson s rank for partitions [6] On the other h there are no congruences of the form p(ln + d) 0 (mod l) for primes l 3 [9] Here p(n) denotes the number of overpartitions of n The generating functions for the rank differences N(s l ln + d) N(t l ln + d) then provide a measure of the extent to which the rank fails to produce a congruence p(ln + d) 0 (mod l) In this paper we find formulas for these generating functions for l = 3 5 in terms of modular functions generalized Lambert series Using the notation (11) R st (d) = n 0 ( N(s l ln + d) N(t l ln + d) ) q n where the prime l will always be clear the main results are summarized in Theorems below Theorem 11 For l = 3 we have (12) R 01 (0) = 1 + (q3 ; q 3 ) 2 ( q; q) ( q 3 ; q 3 ) 2 (13) R 01 (1) = 2(q3 ; q 3 ) (q 6 ; q 6 ) (14) R 01 (2) = 4( q3 ; q 3 ) 2 (q 6 ; q 6 ) 2 (q 2 ; q 2 6( q3 ; q 3 ) ) (q 3 ; q 3 ) Theorem 12 For l = 5 we have ( 1) n q 3n2 +3n 1 q 3n+1 (15) R 12 (0) = 2q(q 10 ; q 10 ) (q 3 q 4 q 6 q 7 ; q 10 ) (16) R 12 (1) = 2q( q5 ; q 5 ) (q 5 ; q 5 ) ( 1) n q 5n2 +5n 1 q 5n+2 (17) R 12 (2) = 2(q10 ; q 10 ) (q q 4 ; q 5 ) (18) R 12 (3) = 2(q10 ; q 10 ) (q 2 q 3 ; q 5 )

15 RANK DIFFERENCES FOR OVERPARTITIONS 15 in (510) For the second fourth terms we make a common denominator multiply top bottom by (q 5 q 20 ; q 25 ) Then the case (z ζ t q) = (q 20 q 10 q 5 q 50 ) of Lemma 36 applies we obtain the second term in (510) We now turn to the rank differences R 02 (d) proceeding as above Again by (26) (27) (28) we have (515) { } N(0 5 n) N(2 5 n) n=0 By Lemma 21 (with l = 5) (515) (58) (59) we have q n = S(5) + 2S(1) + S(3) g(2) + 2qyΣ(2 0)( q 25 ; q 25 ) ( q) (q 25 ; q 25 2q 2 (q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 ( q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) ) (q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) ( q 5 q 20 ; q 25 ) g(1) q 4 Σ(1 0) ( q 25 ; q 25 ) ( q) (q 25 ; q 25 + q 3 (q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 ( q 5 q 20 ; q 25 ) ) (q 5 q 20 ; q 25 ) ( q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) { = r 02 (0)q 0 + r 02 (1)q + r 02 (2)q 2 + r 02 (3)q 3 + r 02 (4)q 4} Again substituting the claim in Theorem 12 equating coefficients of powers of q yields the following identities (516) 1 2 2g(2) g(1) = 1 ( q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) (q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 2 (q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) ( q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 2y (q10 q 40 ; q 50 ) (q 15 q 35 ; q 50 ) (q 50 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 20 q 30 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 5 q 45 ; q 50 ) + 2y (q20 q 30 ; q 50 ) (q 5 q 45 ; q 50 ) (q 50 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 10 q 40 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 15 q 35 ; q 50 ) (517) (q 20 q 30 q 50 ; q 50 ) (q 25 ; q 25 ) (q 10 q 40 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 15 q 35 ; q 50 ) ( q 25 ; q 25 = ( q10 q 15 ; q 25 ) (q 25 ; q 25 ) (q 15 q 35 q 50 ; q 50 ) ) (q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) ( q 25 ; q 25 ) (518) (519) (q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 ( q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) ( q 5 q 20 ; q 25 ) (q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) = (q50 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 20 q 30 ; q 50 ) (q 10 q 40 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 ( q 5 q 20 ; q 25 ) ( q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) (q 5 q 20 ; q 25 ) = y (q50 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 5 q 45 ; q 50 ) (q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) (q25 ; q 25 ) 2 (q 10 q 15 ; q y (q50 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 10 q 40 ; q 50 ) ) (q 20 q 30 ; q 50 ) 2 (520) (q 10 q 40 q 50 ; q 50 ) (q 25 ; q 25 ) (q 20 q 30 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 5 q 45 ; q 50 ) ( q 25 ; q 25 + ( q10 q 15 ; q 25 ) (q 25 ; q 25 ) (q 5 q 45 q 50 ; q 50 ) ) (q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) ( q 25 ; q 25 ) = 2 (q50 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 15 q 35 ; q 50 ) (q 10 q 15 ; q 25 )
16 16 JEREMY LOVEJOY AND ROBERT OSBURN Now (517) is immediate After clearing denominators simplifying (518) follows from the case (z ζ t q) = (q 20 q 15 q 10 q 50 ) of Lemma 36 (519) is the case (x z q) = (q 5 q 10 q 25 ) of Lemma 33 For (520) we simplify the first term apply the case (x z q) = (q 5 q 10 q 25 ) of Lemma 34 As for (516) taking the case a = 2 of (419) together with an application of (420) gives 1 2 2g(2) g(1) = ( q10 q 15 ; q 25 ) (q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 2(q 10 q 15 ; q 25 ) ( q 25 ; q 25 ) 2 4y2 (q 5 q 45 ; q 50 ) (q 50 ; q 50 ) 2 (q 20 q 30 ; q 50 ) (q 25 ; q 50 ) 2 Now the first terms of the above equation (516) match up while after some simplification of the final two terms of (516) we may apply the case (x z q) = (q 5 q 10 q 25 ) of Lemma 33 to obtain the final term above Acknowlegements The second author would like to thank the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques the Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik for their hospitality support during the preparation of this paper References [1] GE Andrews D Hickerson Ramanujan s lost notebook VII: The sixth order mock theta functions Adv Math 89 (1991) [2] AOL Atkin SM Hussain Some properties of partitions II Trans Amer Math Soc 89 (1958) [3] AOL Atkin H Swinnerton-Dyer Some properties of partitions Proc London Math Soc 66 (1954) [4] F Brenti Determinants of super-schur functions lattice paths dotted plane partitions Adv Math 98 (1993) [5] K Bringmann J Lovejoy Dyson s ranks overpartitions weak Maass forms Int Math Res Not to appear [6] K Bringmann K Ono Dyson s ranks Maass forms Ann Math to appear [7] K Bringmann K Ono R Rhoades Eulerian series as modular forms J Amer Math Soc to appear [8] SH Chan Generalized Lambert series identities Proc London Math Soc 91 (2005) [9] D Choi Weakly holomorphic modular forms of half-integral weight with non-vanishing constant terms mod l preprint [10] S Corteel J Lovejoy Overpartitions Trans Amer Math Soc 356 (2004) [11] S Corteel J Lovejoy O Mallet An extension to overpartitions of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities for even moduli J Number Theory to appear [12] S Corteel O Mallet Overpartitions lattice paths Rogers-Ramanujan identities J Combin Theory Ser A to appear [13] P Desrosiers L Lapointe P Mathieu Jack polynomials in superspace Comm Math Phys 242 (2003) [14] FJ Dyson Some guesses in the theory of partitions Eureka (Cambridge) 8 (1944) [15] J-F Fortin P Jacob P Mathieu Jagged partitions Ramanujan J 10 (2005) [16] J-F Fortin P Jacob P Mathieu Generating function for K-restricted jagged partitions Electron J Combin 12 (2005) Research paper R12 [17] G Gasper M Rahman Basic Hypergeometric Series Cambridge Univ Press Cambridge 1990 [18] D Hickerson A proof of the mock theta conjectures Invent Math 94 (1988) [19] M Jackson On some formulae in partition theory bilateral basic hypergeometric series J London Math Soc 24 (1949)
