Refined versions, analytic and combinatorial, are given for classical integer partition theorems. The examples include the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, the Gollnitz-Gordon identities, Euler's odd=distinct theorem, and the Andrews-Gordon…
Tewodros Amdeberhan and Armin Straub initiated the study of enumerating subfamilies of the set of (s,t)-core partitions. While the enumeration of (n+1,n+2)-core partitions into distinct parts is relatively easy (in fact it equals the…
In this short note we present a class of conjectures on partitions of integers as summations of primes, which are extensions of Goldbach conjecture.
The number of partitions of n into parts divisible by a or b equals the number of partitions of n in which each part and each difference of two parts is expressible as a non-negative integer combination of a or b. This generalizes…
In this paper, we use a simple discrete dynamical model to study integer partitions and their lattice. The set of reachable configurations of the model, with the order induced by the transition rule defined on it, is the lattice of all…
For positive integers $s$ and $L \geq 3$, Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. $23$ ($2019$) $263$--$284$) conjectured an inequality between the sizes of two closely related sets of partitions whose parts lie in the interval $\{s, \ldots, L+s\}$.…
In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called "sequentially congruent" partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to…
It seems that the index theory for non-compact spaces has found its ultimate formulation in realm of coarse spaces and $K$-theory of related operator algebras. Relative and partitioned index theorems may be mentioned as two important and…
We make an application of ideas from partition theory to a problem in multiplicative number theory. We propose a deterministic model of prime number distribution, from first principles related to properties of integer partitions, that…
A first-order theory $T$ is a model-complete core theory if every first-order formula is equivalent modulo $T$ to an existential positive formula; the core companion of a theory $T$ is a model-complete core theory $S$ such that every model…
Johnson recently proved Armstrong's conjecture which states that the average size of an $(a,b)$-core partition is $(a+b+1)(a-1)(b-1)/24$. He used various coordinate changes and one-to-one correspondences that are useful for counting…
We study a bijective map from integer partitions to the prime factorizations of integers that we call the "supernorm" of a partition, in which the multiplicities of the parts of partitions are mapped to the multiplicities of prime factors…
A partition of a positive integer $n$ is defined as a non-increasing sequence $P = [y_0, y_1, ..., y_m]$ of positive integers which sum to $n$, where the $y_i$ are called the $parts$ of the partition. A Young diagram is a visual…
Let $\ell,k$ be fixed positive integers. In an earlier work, the first and third authors established a bijection between $\ell$-cores with first part equal to $k$ and $(\ell-1)$-cores with first part less than or equal to $k$. This paper…
Tverberg's theorem says that a set with sufficiently many points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can always be partitioned into $m$ parts so that the $(m-1)$-simplex is the (nerve) intersection pattern of the convex hulls of the parts. The main results…
We prove a lemma that is useful to get upper bounds for the number of partitions without a given subsum. From this we can deduce an improved upper bound for the number of sets represented by the (unrestricted or into unequal parts)…
We prove that there are infinitely many integers $n$ such that $n$ and $n+1$ have the same number of distinct prime divisors.
Fix coprime $s,t\ge1$. We re-prove, without Ehrhart reciprocity, a conjecture of Armstrong (recently verified by Johnson) that the finitely many simultaneous $(s,t)$-cores have average size $\frac{1}{24}(s-1)(t-1)(s+t+1)$, and that the…
In this paper, we use a simple discrete dynamical model to study partitions of integers into powers of another integer. We extend and generalize some known results about their enumeration and counting, and we give new structural results. In…
In this paper, we study the partition theory over totally real number fields. Let $K$ be a totally real number field. A partition of a totally positive algebraic integer $\delta$ over $K$ is $\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_r)$…
