  Self-conjugate vector partitions and the parity of the spt-function

  G.E. Andrews

  F.G. Garvan

  Let spt(n) denote the total number of appearances of the smallest parts in all the partitions of n. Recently

  we found new combinatorial interpretations of congruences for the spt-function modulo 5 and 7. These interpretations were in terms of a restricted set of weighted vector partitions which we call S-partitions. We prove that the number of self-conjugate S-partitions

  counted with a certain weight

  is related to the coefficients of a certain mock theta function studied by the first author

  Dyson and Hickerson. As a result we obtain an elementary q-series proof of Ono and Folsom’s results for the parity of spt(n). A number of related generating function identities are also obtained.
