Abstract

Noting a curious link between Andrews' even-odd crank and the Stanley rank, we adopt a combinatorial approach building on the map of conjugation and continue the study of integer partitions with parts separated by parity. Our motivation is twofold. First off, we derive results for certain restricted partitions with even parts below odd parts. These include a Franklin-type involution proving a parametrized identity that generalizes Andrews' bivariate generating function, and two families of Andrews--Beck type congruences. Secondly, we introduce several new subsets of partitions that are stable (i.e., invariant under conjugation) and explore their connections with three third order mock theta functions $\omega(q)$, $\nu(q)$, and $\psi^{(3)}(q)$, introduced by Ramanujan and Watson.<br />Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures
