Abstract
We prove a finite version of the well-known theorem that says that the number of partitions of an integer N into distinct parts is equal to the number of partitions of N into odd parts. Our version says that the number of “lecture hall partitions of length n ” of N equals the number of partitions of N into small odd parts: 1,3,5, ldots, 2n-1 . We give two proofs: one via Bott's formula for the Poincare series of the affine Coxeter group \(\tilde C_n \), and one direct proof.
