Particle Motion Methods for Andrews-Gordon and Stanton Type Identities

Abstract. In 2018, Stanton proved generalisations of the celebrated Andrews-Gordon and Bressoud identities (in their q-series version). In this extended abstract, we give combinatorial proofs of these identities. They are based on particle motion introduced by Warnaar and extended by the first and third authors and Konan, and use the original Andrews-Gordon and Bressoud identities as ingredients. We also find new Stanton-type generalisations of classical identities.
