I came across the following cute fact about partitions:
\begin{align}
& |\{\lambda \vdash n \text{ with an even number of even parts}\}| \\[8pt]
& {} - |\{ \lambda \vdash n \text{ with an odd ...

A product identity for partitions
For a partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1\ge \lambda_2\ge \dots)$, let
$m_\lambda=\prod_i (\lambda_i-\lambda_{i+1})!$ be the product of factorials of consecutive differences and let $v_\lambda=\prod_{i | \...

Hurwitz numbers and $t$-cores
For integers $k \geq 0$ and $d \geq 1$ let $H(k,d)$
be the Hurwitz number which, for the purposes
of this posting, will be defined by:
\begin{equation}
H(k,d)
\, := \ d! \, \sum_{\lambda \, \vdash d}...

Finite trees with forests realizing all partitions
Removing interiors of some edges in a tree with $n$ vertices leaves a spanning-forest
with $k$ connected components (given by subtrees) having respectively $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k$
vertices. We ...
