Abstract

In a series of papers, George Andrews and various coauthors successfully revitalized seemingly forgotten, powerful machinery based on MacMahon's Ω operator to systematically compute generating functionsΣ_{λ{small element of}P} z^λ₁ 1. . . z^λ_nn for some set P of integer partitions λ = (λ₁,. . ., λ_n). Our goal is to geometrically prove and extend many of Andrews et al.'s theorems, by realizing a given family of partitions as the set of integer lattice points in a certain polyhedron.
