Combinatorics of Integer Partitions With Prescribed Perimeter (2204.02879v1)

Abstract: We prove that the number of even parts and the number of times that parts are repeated have the same distribution over integer partitions with a fixed perimeter. This refines Straub's analog of Euler's Odd-Distinct partition theorem. We generalize the two concerned statistics to these of the part-difference less than $d$ and the parts not congruent to $1$ modulo $d+1$ and prove a distribution inequality, that has a similar flavor as Alder's ex-conjecture, over partitions with a prescribed perimeter. Both of our results are proved analytically and combinatorially.
