Weighted cylindric partitions (2201.03047v1)

Abstract: Recently Corteel and Welsh outlined a technique for finding new sum-product identities by using functional relations between generating functions for cylindric partitions and a theorem of Borodin. Here, we extend this framework to include very general product-sides coming from work of Han and Xiong. In doing so, we are led to consider structures such as weighted cylindric partitions, symmetric cylindric partitions and weighted skew double shifted plane partitions. We prove some new identities and obtain new proofs of known identities, including the G\"ollnitz-Gordon and Little G\"ollnitz identities as well as some beautiful Schmidt-type identities of Andrews and Paule.
