In 2009, Corteel, Savelief and Vuleti\'c generalized the concept of overpartitions to a new object called plane overpartitions. In recent work, the author considered a restricted form of plane overpartitions called $k$-rowed plane…

A new combinatorial object is introduced, the part-frequency matrix sequence of a partition, which is elementary to describe and is naturally motivated by Glaisher's bijection. We prove results that suggest surprising usefulness for such a…

In a series of papers the first author and Ono connected the rank, a partition statistic introduced by Dyson, to weak Maass forms, a new class of functions which are related to modular forms. Naturally it is of wide interest to find other…

The starting point for this work is the family of functions $\overline{p}_{-t}(n)$ which counts the number of $t$--colored overpartitions of $n.$ In recent years, several infinite families of congruences satisfied by $\overline{p}_{-t}(n)$…

Moments of the partition rank and crank statistics have been studied for their connections to combinatorial objects such as Durfee symbols, as well as for their connections to harmonic Maass forms. This paper proves a conjecture due to…

We review the notions of symplectic and orthogonal vector bundles over curves, and the connection between principal parts and extensions of vector bundles. We give a criterion for a certain extension of rank 2n to be symplectic or…

The study of Ramanujan-type congruences for functions specific to additive number theory has a long and rich history. Motivated by recent connections between divisor sums and overpartitions via congruences in arithmetic progressions, we…

We introduce the multiple zeta functions with structures similar to those of symmetric functions such as Schur $P$-, Schur $Q$-, symplectic and orthogonal functions in the representation theory. We first consider their basic properties such…

In a recent work, Nadji and Ahmia introduced the $t$-Schur overpartitions as an overpartition analogue for $t$-Schur partitions, which generalizes the classical Schur's partitions into parts congruent to $1$ or $5$ modulo $6$. We continue…

In this paper, we establish that the number of partitions of a natural number with positive odd rank is equal to the number of two-color partitions (red and blue), where the smallest part is even (say $2n$) and all red parts are even and…

In 2017, Andrews, Dixit, Schultz and Yee introduced the function $\overline{\textrm{spt}}_\omega(n)$, which denotes the number of smallest parts in the overpartitions of $n$ in which the smallest part is always overlined and all odd parts…

In this paper, we establish two new Ramanujan-type congruences for the overpartition function: $\overline{p}(11\times(8n+5))\equiv 0 \pmod{11}$ and $\overline{p}(13\times 2^6(8n+7))\equiv 0 \pmod{13}$. The proofs rely on the theory of…

It is known that partial spreads is a class of bent partitions. In \cite{AM2022Be,MP2021Be}, two classes of bent partitions whose forms are similar to partial spreads were presented. In \cite{AKM2022Ge}, more bent partitions $\Gamma_{1},…

Mahlburg (2005) brilliantly showed the importance of crank functions in partition congruences that were originally guessed by Dyson (1944). Ramanujan's partition functions are the centre of these works. Not only for the theory on cranks,…

Partition functions for non-interacting particles are known to be symmetric functions. It is shown that powerful group-theoretical techniques can be used not only to derive these relationships, but also to significantly simplify calculation…

Inspired by Andrews' and Newman's work on the minimal excludant or "mex" of partitions, we define four new classes of minimal excludants for overpartitions and establish relations to certain functions due to Ramanujan.

Recently, Andrews, Dixit and Yee defined two partition functions $p_{\omega}(n)$ and $p_{\nu}(n)$ that are related with Ramanujan's mock theta functions $\omega(q)$ and $\nu(q)$, respectively. In this paper, we present two variable…
