Abstract

This article considers the eta power (1qk)b1\prod {(1-q^k)}^{b-1}. It is proved that the coefficients of qnn!\frac{q^n}{n!} in this expression, as polynomials in bb, exhibit equidistribution of the coefficients in the nonzero residue classes mod 5 when n=5j+4n=5j+4. Other symmetries, as well as symmetries for other primes and prime powers, are proved, and some open questions are raised.
