In this paper we present a counterpart of this formula, corresponding to the {\\it exterior} of a concave hexagon obtained by turning 120 degrees after drawing each side (MacMahon's hexagon is obtained by turning 60 degrees after each step).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-19T19:33:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "plane partitions", "macmahons theorem", "beautifully simple product formula", "centrally symmetric hexagon drawn", "triangular lattice" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
