The Rogers-Ramanujan q-series play an important role in many areas of mathematics, such as combinatorics, number theory, statistical mechanics and representation theory. In this talk I will describe how methods from algebraic combinatorics, inspired by the theory of plane partitions, may be used to prove generalised Rogers-Ramanujan identities for affine Lie algebras. I will further discuss the arithmetic properties of these identities, resulting in extensions of the famous Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction.
