| Abstract: |

| In 1886, J.J. Sylvester defined "flushed partitions", and
posed a couple of interesting problems concerning them. Subsequently in
1970, I wrote a short paper on Sylvester's questions and in 2009
considered, more generally, partitions with early repetitions. One
result in the latter paper involves one of the seventh order mock theta
functions. Sylvester's ideas and the subsequent refinements lead one to
ask if there are similar interpretations for some or many of the
identities in Slater's compendium of Rogers-Ramanujan type identities
and if this leads to new results. The object of this talk is to provide
an affirmative answer. |
