A generalization of an Euler formula in partition theory
This article is concerned with estimations from below for the remainder term in Weyl’s law for the spectral counting function of certain rational (2ℓ + 1)-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds. Concentrating on the case of odd ℓ, it continues the work done in part I [21] which dealt with even ℓ.
A zero-sum sequence over ℤ is a sequence with terms in ℤ that sum to 0. It is called minimal if it does not contain a proper zero-sum subsequence. Consider a minimal zero-sum sequence over ℤ with positive terms and negative terms . We prove that h ≤ ⌊σ⁺/k⌋ and k ≤ ⌊σ⁺/h⌋, where . These bounds are tight and improve upon previous results. We also show a natural partial order structure on the collection of all minimal zero-sum sequences over the set i∈ ℤ : -n ≤ i ≤ n for any positive integer n.
