Abstract
For a partition, the norm is defined as the product of its parts. This paper aims to explore norms of overpartitions and develop their interpretations. The analysis begins by providing a two-variable generating function of the overline norm counting function r̅(i,n), which refers to the number of times i appears as a norm in the overpartitions of n. Thereafter, a wealth of intriguing relations like infinite series, integral representation, and recurrences are proved. Subsequently, an analogue of the multiplicative partition emerges, which is named the multiplicative overpartition function. Several curious results are unraveled on studying this function, which resemble the expressions involving the ordinary multiplicative partition function. The presented work opens a new avenue for research in norms and overpartitions.
