In 1986, Andrews studied the function $\sigma(q)$ from Ramanujan's ``Lost" Notebook, and made several conjectures on its Fourier coefficients $S(n)$, which count certain partition ranks. In 1988, Andrews-Dyson-Hickerson famously resolved…

The partition crank is a statistic on partitions introduced by Freeman Dyson to explain Ramanujan's congruences. In this paper, we prove that the crank is asymptotically equidistributed modulo Q, for any odd number Q. To prove this, we…

We give evaluations of certain Borwein's theta functions which appear in Ramanujan theory of alternative elliptic modular bases. Most of this theory where developed by B.C. Berndt, S. Bhargava and F.G. Garvan. We also study the most general…

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.

During the last years, low-rank tensor approximation has been established as a new tool in scientific computing to address large-scale linear and multilinear algebra problems, which would be intractable by classical techniques. This survey…

The inequality between rank and crank moments was conjectured and later proved by Garvan himself in 2011. Recently, Dixit and the authors introduced finite analogues of rank and crank moments for vector partitions while deriving a finite…

In 1988, George Andrews and Frank Garvan discovered a crank for $p(n)$. In 2020, Larry Rolen, Zack Tripp, and Ian Wagner generalized the crank for p(n) in order to accommodate Ramanujan-like congruences for $k$-colored partitions. In this…

We prove a recent conjecture of Berndt and Kim regarding the positivity of the coefficients in the asymptotic expansion of a class of partial theta functions. This generalizes results found in Ramanujan's second notebook, and recent work of…

I present here a collection of formulas inspired from the Ramanujan Notebooks. These formulas were found using an experimental method based on three widely available symbolic computation programs: PARI-Gp, Maple and Mathematica. A new…

We prove several old and new theorems about finite sums involving characters and trigonometric functions. These sums can be traced back to theta function identities from Ramanujan's notebooks and were systematically first studied by Berndt…

Ramanujan graphs are graphs whose spectrum is bounded optimally. Such graphs have found numerous applications in combinatorics and computer science. In recent years, a high dimensional theory has emerged. In this paper these developments…

It is well known that Ramanujan conjectured congruences modulo powers of $5$, $7$ and and $11$ for the partition function. These were subsequently proved by Watson (1938) and Atkin (1967). In 2009 Choi, Kang, and Lovejoy proved congruences…

We present a generalization of the construction of graphs by Lubotzky, Phillips and Sarnak in their celebrated article "Ramanujan graphs". The new approach consists in using octonion algebras rather than quaternions. A key tool is the…
