An example of $A_2$ Rogers-Ramanujan bipartition identities of level 3

Abstract

We give manifestly positive Andrews-Gordon type series for the level 3 standard modules of the affine Lie algebra of type $A_2^{(1)}$. We also give corresponding bipartition identities, which have representation theoretic interpretations via the vertex operators. Our proof is based on the Borodin product formula, the Corteel-Welsh recursion for the cylindric partitions, a $q$-version of Sister Celine's technique and a generalization of Andrews' partition ideals by finite automata due to Takigiku and the author.
