We continue a series of papers studying the parity of families of eta-quotients, which provide implications for the parity of the partition function as well as an overarching conjecture on related $q$-series. The present article focuses on…
We present proofs of two new families of sum-product identities arising from the cylindric partitions paradigm. Most of the presented expressions, the related sum-product identities, and the ingredients for the proofs were first conjectured…
Inspired by Andrews' and Bachraoui's work on partitions with repeated smallest part, we extend the concept to overpartitions. We study overpartitions with the restriction that the smallest non-overlined part appears exactly $k$ times and…
Extending Sellers' result, Das et al. recently proved some congruence results for generalized overcubic partitions using theta functions and posed some related conjectures. In this paper, we provide a combinatorial proof of a result in…
The arithmetic properties of the ordinary partition function $p(n)$ have been the topic of intensive study for the past century. Ramanujan proved that there are linear congruences of the form $p(\ell n+\beta)\equiv 0\pmod\ell$ for the…
In a seminal 2007 paper, Andrews introduced a class of combinatorial objects that generalize partitions called $k$-marked Durfee symbols. Multivariate rank generating functions for these objects have been shown by many to have interesting…
We set up a combinatorial framework for inclusion-exclusion on the partitions into distinct parts to obtain an alternative generating function of partitions into distinct and non-consecutive parts. In connection with Rogers-Ramanujan…
We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…
Using Lie theory, Stefano Capparelli conjectured an interesting Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity in his 1988 Rutgers Ph.D. thesis. The first proof was given by George Andrews, using combinatorial methods. Later, Capparelli was able…
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…
Many generating series of combinatorially interesting numbers have the property that the sum of the terms of order $<p$ at some suitable point is congruent to a zero of a zeta-function modulo infinitely many primes $p$. Surprisingly, very…
Let $\mathscr{S}$ denote the set of integer partitions into parts that differ by at least $3$, with the added constraint that no two consecutive multiples of $3$ occur as parts. We derive trivariate generating functions of Andrews--Gordon…
George Andrews [\emph{Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.}, 2007, 561--573] introduced the idea of a \emph{signed partiton} of an integer; similar to an ordinary integer partitions, but where some of the parts could be negative. Further, Andrews…
We prove an infinite family of Hecke-like congruences for the overpartition function modulo powers of 2. Starting from a recent identity of Garvan and Morrow and iterating Atkin's $U_2$ operator, we determine lower bounds on the 2-adic…
For $k\geq i\geq 1$, let $B_{k,i}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ such that part 1 appears at most $i-1$ times, two consecutive integers l and $l+1$ appear at most $k-1$ times and if l and $l+1$ appear exactly $k-1$ times then…
This is the third and final installment in our series of papers applying the method of Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer to deduce formulas for rank differences. The study of rank differences was initiated by Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer in their…
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…
Motivated by Alladi's recent multi-dimensional generalization of Sylvester's classical identity, we provide a simple combinatorial proof of an overpartition analogue, which contains extra parameters tracking the numbers of overlined parts…
We focus on writing closed forms of generating functions for the number of partitions with gap conditions as double sums starting from a combinatorial construction. Some examples of the sets of partitions with gap conditions to be discussed…
We study the generating functions for cylindric partitions with profile $(c_1,c_2,c_3)$ for all $c_1,c_2,c_3$ such that $c_1+c_2+c_3=5$. This allows us to discover and prove seven new $A_2$ Rogers-Ramanujan identities modulo $8$ with…
