A Polynomial Bosonic Form of Statistical Configuration Sums and the Odd/Even Minimal Excludant in Integer Partitions
摘要
Inspired by the study of the minimal excludant in integer partitions by G.E. Andrews and D. Newman, we introduce a pair of new partition statistics, sqrank and rerank. They are related to a polynomial bosonic form of statistical configuration sums for an integrable cellular automaton. For all non-negative integers n, we prove that the partitions of n on which sqrank or rerank takes on a particular value, say r, are equinumerous with the partitions of n on which the odd/even minimal exclutant takes on the corresponding value,
