We find the number of partitions of $n$ whose BG-rank is $j$, in terms of $pp(n)$, the number of pairs of partitions whose total number of cells is $n$, giving both bijective and generating function proofs. Next we find congruences mod 5…

We study generating functions which count the sizes of $t$-cores of partitions, and, more generally, the sizes of higher rows in $t$-core towers. We then use these results to derive an asymptotic for the average size of the $t$-defect of…

Let $A_{t,k}(n)$ denote the number of partition $k$-tuples of $n$ where each partition is $t$-core. In this paper, we establish formulas of $A_{t,k}(n)$ for some values of $t$ and $k$ by employing the method of modular forms, which extends…

Motivated by Andrews' recent work related to Euler's partition theorem, we consider the set of partitions of an integer $n$ where the set of even parts has exactly $j$ elements, versus the set of partitions of $n$ where the set of repeated…

We generalize recent results of Breuer and Kronholm, and Chern on partitions and overpartitions with bounded differences between largest and smallest parts. We prove our generalization both analytically and combinatorially.

For any positive integers $s$ and $t$, let $Q_{t}^{s}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into distinct parts such that no part is congruent to $s$ or $t-s$ modulo $t$. We prove some Ramanujan-type congruences for…

Ferrers graphs and tables of partitions are treated as vectors. Matrix operations are used for simple proofs of identities concerning partitions. Interpreting partitions as vectors gives a possibility to generalize partitions on negative…

In this note, we investigate the detailed relationship between the orbifold partition counting and the (l-quotient, l-core) pair counting. We show that the orbifold partition counting is exactly the same as the (l-quotient, l-core) pair…

A partition of degree $n$ is a decomposition $n=i_1+i_2+\dots+i_q$, where ${i_1,i_2,\dots,i_q}$ are positive integers called the parts of the partition. Let $\lambda>0$ be an integer. The partition is said to be a $\lambda$--partition if…

Recently, the concept of parity bias in integer partitions has been studied by several authors. We continue this study here, but for non-unitary partitions (namely, partitions with parts greater than $1$). We prove analogous results for…

We introduce a universal approach for applying the partition rank method, an extension of Tao's slice rank polynomial method, to tensors that are not diagonal. This is accomplished by generalizing Naslund's distinctness indicator to what we…

We construct a homotopy initial functor from the partition complex of a finite set $A$ to a category of trees with leaves labelled by $A$. As an application, this provides an equivalence between different bar constructions of an operad. In…

Let $s,t$ be natural numbers, and fix an $s$-core partition $\sigma$ and a $t$-core partition $\tau$. Put $d=\gcd(s,t)$ and $m= lcm(s,t)$, and write $N_{\sigma, \tau}(k)$ for the number of $m$-core partitions of length no greater than $k$…

In a recent paper, Thejitha and Fathima introduced the overcolored partition function $\bar{a}_{r,s}(n)$, which enumerates overpartitions in which even parts may appear in one of $r$ colors and odd parts in one of $s$ colors, for fixed…

Partitions with distinct even parts have long been the subject of extensive research. In this paper, We present some new perspectives on such partitions from a combinatorial viewpoint, and connect them with signed partitions and bicolored…

Let $p_t(a,b;n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ such that the number of $t$ hooks is congruent to $a \bmod{b}$. For $t\in \{2, 3\}$, arithmetic progressions $r_1 \bmod{m_1}$ and $r_2 \bmod{m_2}$ on which $p_t(r_1,m_1; m_2 n + r_2)$…

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…

The paper contains an exposition of part of topology using partitions of unity. The main idea is to create variants of the Tietze Extension Theorem and use them to derive classical theorems. This idea leads to a new result generalizing…

The material gives a new combinatorial proof of the multiplicative property of the S-transform. In particular, several properties of the coefficients of its inverse are connected to non-crossing linked partitions and planar trees.

Recently, Merca and Schmidt proved a number of identities relating partitions of an integer with two classic number-theoretic functions, namely the M\"obius function and Euler's totient function. Their demonstrations were mainly algebraic.…
