ARITHMETIC PROPERTIES OF 1-SHELL TOTALLY SYMMETRIC PLANE PARTITIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 September 2013
Abstract
Blecher [‘Geometry for totally symmetric plane partitions (TSPPs) with self-conjugate main diagonal’, Util. Math. 88 (2012), 223–235] defined the combinatorial objects known as 1-shell totally symmetric plane partitions of weight $n$. He also proved that the generating function for
$f(n), $ the number of 1-shell totally symmetric plane partitions of weight
$n$, is given by
$$\begin{eqnarray*}\displaystyle \sum _{n\geq 0}f(n){q}^{n} = 1+ \sum _{n\geq 1}{q}^{3n- 2} \prod _{i= 0}^{n- 2} (1+ {q}^{6i+ 3} ).\end{eqnarray*}$$
$f(n)$ using elementary generating function manipulations and well-known results of Ramanujan and Watson.
