Abstract

Using Lie theory, Stefano Capparelli conjectured an interesting Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity in his 1988 Rutgers PhD thesis. The first proof was given by George Andrews, using combinatorial methods. Later, Capparelli was able to provide a Lie theoretic proof.Most combinatorial Rogers-Ramanujan type identities (e.g., the Göllnitz-Gordon identities, Gordon's combinatorial generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, etc.) have an analytic counterpart. The main purpose of this paper is to provide two new series representations for the infinite product associated with Capparelli's conjecture. Some additional related identities, including new infinite families are also presented.
