We considerably improve Ono's and Ahlgren-Ono's work on the frequent occurrence of Ramanujan-type congruences for the partition function, and demonstrate that Ramanujan-type congruences occur in families that are governed by square-classes.…

Ramanujan famously found congruences for the partition function like p(5n+4) = 0 modulo 5. We provide a method to find all simple congruences of this type in the coefficients of the inverse of a modular form on Gamma_{1}(4) which is…

The spt-function spt($n$) was introduced by Andrews as the weighted counting of partitions of $n$ with respect to the number of occurrences of the smallest part. In this survey, we summarize recent developments in the study of spt($n$),…

We establish two families of congruences modulo powers of 5 for the Fourier coefficients of $(2E_2(2\tau)-E_2(\tau))\eta(2\tau)^{-1}$, where $E_2(\tau)$ is the weight 2 Eisenstein series and $\eta(\tau)$ is the Dedekind eta function. This…

We prove multiplicative congruences mod $2^{12}$ for George Andrews's partition function, $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part and only the largest even part…

We prove several Ramanujan-type congruences modulo powers of $5$ for partition $k$-tuples with $5$-cores, for $k=2, 3, 4$. We also prove some new infinite families of congruences modulo powers of primes for $k$-tuples with $p$-cores, where…

For any non-negative integer $n$ and non-zero integer $r$, let $p_r(n)$ denote Ramanujan's general partition function. By employing $q$-identities, we prove some new Ramanujan-type congruences modulo 5 for $p_r(n)$ for $r=-(5\lambda+1),…

It is proved that the number of 9-regular partitions of n is divisible by 3 when n is congruent to 3 mod 4, and by 6 when n is congruent to 13 mod 16. An infinite family of congruences mod 3 holds in other progressions modulo powers of 4…
