Certain Diophantine equations and new parity results for $21$-regular partitions
Abstract
For a positive integer , let denote the number of -regular partitions of a nonnegative integer . In a recent paper, Keith and Zanello investigated the parity of when . They discovered new infinite families of Ramanujan type congruences modulo 2 for involving every prime with . In this paper, we investigate the parity of involving the primes with . We prove new infinite families of Ramanujan type congruences modulo 2 for involving the odd primes for which the Diophantine equation has primitive solutions for some , and we also prove that the Dirichlet density of such primes is equal to . Recently, Yao provided new infinite families of congruences modulo for and those congruences involve every prime based on Newman's results. Following a similar approach, we prove new infinite families of congruences modulo for , and these congruences imply that is odd infinitely often.
