Euler-type Recurrence Relations for Partition Functions with Congruence Conditions

Number Theory 2026-07-30 v1

Abstract

We study partition functions pδ,g(n)p_{\delta,g}(n) counting partitions into parts congruent to 00 or ±g(modδ)\pm g \pmod\delta. Using generalized Dedekind eta functions and Rankin-Cohen brackets, we derive infinite families of Euler-type recurrences involving divisor sums and Fourier coefficients of cusp forms. We also obtain an explicit recurrence for δ=5\delta=5, which, as a corollary, gives a Ramanujan-type congruence. As a corollary of our method of proof, we obtain a Rademacher-type formula involving Kloosterman sums and Bessel functions.
