Gap unification theory: A note on the treatment of partitions via their gaps (Q5949911)

\textit{K. Alladi} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 349, 5001-5019 (1997; Zbl 0893.11042)], conjectured that connections may exist between his results on weighted partitions and identities involving partitions with gaps between consecutive parts. This paper verifies Alladi's conjecture and shows that in some cases seemingly different results in the literature are actually equivalent.
