Young Walls of Type $D^(2)_n+1$ and Strict Partitions (1105.2380v2)

Abstract: We show that the number of reduced Young walls of type $D_{n+1}^{(2)}$ with $m$ blocks is independent of $n$ and the same as the number of strict partitions of $m$. Thus the principally specialized character $\chi_n^{\Lambda_0}(t)$ of $V(\Lambda_0)$ over $U_q(D_{n+1}^{(2)})$ can be interpreted as a generating function for strict partitions. Hence we obtain an infinite family of generalizations of Euler's partition identity.
