Asymptotic Formula for $(t+1)$-Regular Partitions

Abstract

A partition is tt-regular if none of its parts is divisible by tt. Let p(N,t)p(N,t) be the number of (t+1)(t+1)-regular partitions of a positive integer NN. In 1971, Hagis proved an asymptotic formula for p(N,t)p(N,t) using the circle method, when tt fixed. In this article, we use the saddle point method and extend the result of Hagis in different ranges of tt, obtaining explicit bounds. We also discuss an application of our result to estimate zeros in the character table of the symmetric group.
