In this paper we study $b_5(n)$, the $5$-regular partitions of $n$. Using the theory of modular forms, we prove several theorems on the divisibility and distribution properties of $b_5(n)$ modulo prime $m\geq5$. In particular, we prove that…

Let $f \in S_{k}(\Gamma_{0}(N))$ be a normalized Hecke eigenform. We study the Fourier coefficients $\lambda_{f \otimes \cdots \otimes_{\ell} f}(n)$ of the $\ell$-fold product $L$-function for odd $\ell \ge 3$. Our focus is the distribution…

Let $f : \mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{C}$ be a bounded multiplicative function. Let $a$ be a fixed integer (say $a = 1$). Then $f$ is well-distributed on the progression $n \equiv a \pmod{q} \subset \{1,\dots, X\}$, for almost all primes…

Concave compositions are ordered partitions whose parts are decreasing towards a central part. We study the distribution modulo $a$ of the number of concave compositions. Let $c(n)$ be the number of concave compositions of $n$ having even…

Ramanujan's celebrated partition congruences modulo $\ell\in \{5, 7, 11\}$ assert that $$ p(\ell n+\delta_{\ell})\equiv 0\pmod{\ell}, $$ where $0<\delta_{\ell}<\ell$ satisfies $24\delta_{\ell}\equiv 1\pmod{\ell}.$ By proving Subbarao's…

We investigate the number of parts modulo $m$ of $m$-ary partitions of a positive integer $n$. We prove that the number of parts is equidistributed modulo $m$ on a special subset of $m$-ary partitions. As consequences, we explain when the…

In recent work with Raum the authors considered congruences for the ordinary partition function $p(n)$ of the form $p(\ell Q^r n+\beta)\equiv 0\pmod\ell$ where $\ell, Q\geq 5$ are prime and $r\in \{1,2\}$, and proved a number of results…

We find and prove a class of congruences modulo 4 for Andrews' partition with certain ternary quadratic form. We also discuss distribution of $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$ and further prove that $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)\equiv0\pmod4$ for…

We continue our study of a basic but seemingly intractable problem in integer partition theory, namely the conjecture that $p(n)$ is odd exactly $50\%$ of the time. Here, we greatly extend on our previous paper by providing a…

We study variants of the Erd\H os distance problem and dot products problem in the setting of the integers modulo $q$, where $q = p^{\ell}$ is a power of an odd prime.

Suppose that $\ell \geq 5$ is prime. For a positive integer $N$ with $4 \mid N$, previous works studied properties of half-integral weight modular forms on $\Gamma_0(N)$ which are supported on finitely many square classes modulo $\ell$, in…

For a prime number $p$ and integer $x$ with $\gcd(x,p)=1$ let $\overline{x}$ denote the multiplicative inverse of $x$ modulo $p.$ In the present paper we are interested in the problem of distribution modulo $p$ of the sequence $$…

An integer-valued multiplicative function $f$ is said to be polynomially-defined if there is a nonconstant separable polynomial $F(T)\in \mathbb{Z}[T]$ with $f(p)=F(p)$ for all primes $p$. We study the distribution in coprime residue…

In this paper we construct a cover {a_s(mod n_s)}_{s=1}^k of Z with odd moduli such that there are distinct primes p_1,...,p_k dividing 2^{n_1}-1,...,2^{n_k}-1 respectively. Using this cover we show that for any positive integer m divisible…

Using modular forms we determine formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by diagonal octonary quadratic forms with coefficients $1$, $2$, $3$ or $6$.

This paper provides some statistics for the coefficients of Russell- Type modular equations for the modular function, {\lambda}({\tau}). The results hold uniformly for all odd primes. They do not rely on any numerical evaluations of…

Let $M$ be a positive integer and $p(n)$ be the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$. Newman's Conjecture asserts that for each integer $r$, there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that \[ p(n)\equiv r \pmod{M}. \]…

Let $P_{r}$ denote an integer with at most $r$ prime factors counted with multiplicity. In this paper we prove that for some $\lambda < \frac{1}{12}$, the inequality $\{\sqrt{p}\}<p^{-\lambda}$ has infinitely many solutions in primes $p$…

For a nonnegative integer $n$, and a prime $\wp$ in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$, we prove a result that provides a method for computing the number of integers $m$ with $0 \le m \le n$ for which the Carlitz binomial coefficients $\binom{n}{m}_C$ fall…

We show that the ordinates of the nontrivial zeros of certain $L-$functions attached to half-integral weight cusp forms are uniformly distributed modulo one.
