Abstract
Almost nothing is known about the parity of the partition function , which is conjectured to be random. Despite this expectation, Ono surprisingly proved the existence of infinitely many linear dependence congruence relations modulo 4 for , indicating that the parity of the partition function cannot be truly random. Answering a question of Ono, we explicitly exhibit the first examples of these relations which he proved theoretically exist. The first two relations invoke 131 (resp. 198) different discriminants for (resp. ); new relations occur for .
