MIT Combinatorics Seminar A new combinatorial proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities Cilanne Boulet  (MIT) Wednesday, October 13, 2004    4:15 pm    Room 2-338 ABSTRACT We give a combinatorial proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities by using two symmetries of a new generalization of Dyson's rank. These symmetries are established by direct bijections. We will also show how to extend this proof to Andrews' generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. This is joint work with Igor Pak.
