Asymptotic expansions for partitions generated by infinite products

Abstract

Recently, Debruyne and Tenenbaum proved asymptotic formulas for the number of partitions with parts in $\mathcal{L}\subset \mathbb{N}$ ($\gcd (\mathcal{L})=1$) and good analytic properties of the corresponding zeta function, generalizing work of Meinardus. In this paper, we extend their work to prove asymptotic formulas if $\mathcal{L}$ is a multiset of integers and the zeta function has multiple poles. In particular, our results imply an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible representations of degree $n$ of $\mathfrak{so}(5)$. We also study the Witten zeta function ${\zeta }_{\mathfrak{so}(5)}$, which is of independent interest.
