The vector partition function $p_A$ associated to a $d \times n$ matrix $A$ with integer entries is the function $\mathbb{Z}^d \to \mathbb{N}$ defined by $\mathbf{b} \to \#\{\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{N}^n : A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}\}$. It is…

A probabilistic characterization of the dominance partial order on the set of partitions is presented. This extends work in "Symmetric polynomials and symmetric mean inequalities". Electron. J. Combin., 20(3): Paper 34, 2013. Let $n$ be a…
Off-shell, transverse-momentum dependent splitting functions can be defined from the high-energy limit of partonic decay amplitudes. Based on these splitting functions, we construct Sudakov form factors and formulate a new parton branching…
The partition function of a factor graph and the partition function of the dual factor graph are related to each other by the normal factor graph duality theorem. We apply this result to the classical problem of computing the partition…
Partition functions of certain classes of "spin glass" models in statistical physics show strong connections to combinatorial graph invariants. Also known as homomorphism functions they allow for the representation of many such invariants,…
We study generalized gauge theories engineered by taking the low energy limit of the $Dp$ branes wrapping $X \times T^{p-3}$, with $X$ a possibly singular surface in a Calabi-Yau fourfold $Z$. For toric $Z$ and $X$ the partition function…
We exhibit a generating function of spin Hurwitz numbers analogous to (disconnected) double Hurwitz numbers that is a tau function of the two-component BKP (2-BKP) hierarchy and is a square root of a tau function of the two-component KP…
In a previous paper of the second author with K. Ono, surprising multiplicative properties of the partition function were presented. Here, we deal with $k$-regular partitions. Extending the generating function for $k$-regular partitions…
The generalized Kontsevich model (GKM) is a one-matrix model with arbitrary potential. Its partition function belongs to the KP hierarchy. When the potential is monomial, it is an $r$-reduced tau-function that governs the $r$-spin…
We present some Euler-type recurrences for the partition function $p(n)$.
We consider the distribution of the values at real points of random functions which belong to the Herglotz-Pick (HP) class of analytic mappings of the upper half plane into itself. It is shown that under mild stationarity assumptions the…
We discuss a method for computing the generating function for the multiplicity distribution in field theories with strong time dependent external sources. At leading order, the computation of the generating function reduces to finding a…
We show that the quantum Hamilton Jacobi approach to a class of quantum mechanical bound state problems and the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of random matrix theory are equivalent. The Berry connection for both problems is identical to…
We study filters in the partition lattice formed by restricting to partitions by type. The M\"obius function is determined in terms of the easier-to-compute descent set statistics on permutations and the M\"obius function of filters in the…
Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…
We consider $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric pure gauge theories on toric K\"ahler manifolds, with particular emphasis on $\mathbb{CP}^2$. By choosing a vector generating a $U(1)$ action inside the torus of the manifold, we construct…
In the paper, we give partition-theoretic results for the coefficients of some mock theta functions and prove their congruence properties. Some recurrence relations connecting the coefficients of the mock theta functions with certain…
In this short article, we will reconstruct the KP equation from Plucker relations and provide some generalizations on this topic. Additionally, in the final section, we define the discrete function $\tau$ in a similar manner, leading to the…
This paper will primarily present a method of proving generating function identities for partitions from linked partition ideals. The method we introduce is built on a conjecture by George Andrews and that those generating functions satisfy…
