TITLE:
|
Instances of Gordon's partition theorem that have been hiding in Slater's list!
|
ABSTRACT:
We will examine three general Bailey pairs and show how the majority of
entries in Lucy Slater's list of 130 identiites of Rogers-Ramanujan type follow from them.
Further, we will see how a mild extension of Basil Gordon's combinatorial generalization
of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities and two closely related partition theorems provide
natural combinatorial interpretations for these Slater-list identities.
