Abstract

For a given prime pp, we study the properties of the pp-dissection identities of Ramanujan's theta functions ψ(q)\psi(q) and f(q)f(-q), respectively. Then as applications, we find many infinite family of congruences modulo 2 for some \ell-regular partition functions, especially, for =2,4,5,8,13,16\ell=2,4,5,8,13,16. Moreover, based on the classical congruences for p(n)p(n) given by Ramanujan, we obtain many more congruences for some \ell-regular partition functions.
