In this talk, I will show a link between an invariant of singularities (involving arc spaces) and Rogers-Ramanujan identities. These latter are identities concerning the theory of integer partitions which have a long history in classical number theory; an integer partition of an integer n being simply a decreasing sequence of positive integers whose sum is equal to n. I will then explain how this link allows to find and prove new families of partition identities.

The talk is directed at a broad public. It concerns various works with C. Brucheck and J. Schepers, with P. Afsharijoo and with P. Afsharijoo, J. Dousse and Frédéric Jouhet.
