A Bijective Proof and Generalization of Siladić's Theorem

Abstract. In a recent paper, Dousse introduced a refinement of Siladić's theorem on partitions, where parts occur in two primary and three secondary colors. Her proof used the method of weighted words and $q$-difference equations. The purpose of this extended abstract is to sketch a bijective proof of Dousse's theorem and show how it can be generalized from two primary colors to an arbitrary number of primary colors.
