Abstract

Let MM be a positive integer and p(n)p(n) be the number of partitions of a positive integer nn. Newman's Conjecture asserts that for each integer rr, there are infinitely many positive integers nn such that p(n)r(modM). p(n)\equiv r \pmod{M}. For a positive integer dd, let BdB_{d} be the set of positive integers MM such that the number of prime divisors of MM is dd. In this paper, we prove that for each positive integer dd, the density of the set of positive integers MM for which Newman's Conjecture holds in BdB_{d} is 11. Furthermore, we study an analogue of Newman's Conjecture for weakly holomorphic modular forms on Γ0(N)\Gamma_0(N) with nebentypus, and this applies to tt-core partitions and generalized Frobenius partitions with hh-colors.
