Partition identities and quiver representations (Q1704097)

Motivated by giving an elementary proof for a family of identities introduced by \textit{M. Reineke} [J. Inst. Math. Jussieu 9, No. 3, 653--667 (2010; Zbl 1232.53072)], the paper under review presents a specific connection between classical partition combinatorics and the theory of quiver representations. In particular, they prove an analogue of A. L. Cauchy's Durfee square identity to multipartitions. They use a generalization of the Durfee square to multiple Durfee rectangles. By establishing a weight-preserving bijection between two sets of multipartitions and using the generating series arguments, they obtain the so called quiver Durfee identity. The authors also use their results to give a new explanation of M. Reineke's identity in the case of type A quivers.
