Abstract

Recently, Andrews proved two conjectures on a partition statistic introduced by Beck. Very recently, Chern established some results on weighted rank and crank moments and proved many Andrews-Beck type congruences. Motivated by Andrews and Chern's work, Lin, Peng and To introduced a partition statistic of kk-colored partitions NBk(r,m,n)NB_k(r,m,n) which counts the total number of parts of π(1)\pi^{(1)} in each kk-colored partition π\pi of nn with crankk(π){\rm crank}_k(\pi) congruent to rr modulo mm and proved a number of congruences for NBk(r,m,n)NB_k(r,m,n). In this paper, we prove some identities on NBk(r,m,n)NB_k(r,m,n) which are analogous to Ramanujan's ``most beautiful identity". Moreover, those identities imply some congruences proved by Lin, Peng and Toh.
