In a recent paper, Jin, Liu, and Xia \cite{JLX} presented some modulo 4 congruences for $\overline{spt2}(n)$, the number of smallest parts in the overpartitions of $n$ where the smallest part is even and is not overlined. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we study arithmetic properties satisfied by the $k$-tuple $\ell$-regular partitions. A $k$-tuple of partitions $(\xi_1, \xi_2, \ldots, \xi_k)$ is said to be $\ell$-regular if all the $\xi_i$'s are $\ell$-regular. We study the…

The partition algebras are algebras of diagrams (which contain the group algebra of the symmetric group and the Brauer algebra) such that the multiplication is given by a combinatorial rule and such that the structure constants of the…

In this paper we study partitions whose successive ranks belong to a given set. We enumerate such partitions while keeping track of the number of parts, the largest part, the side of the Durfee square, and the height of the Durfee…

Recently, Andrews considered the partitions with parts separated by parity, in which parts of a given parity are all smaller than those of the other parity. Inspired from the partitions with parts separated by parity, we investigate the…

A classical theorem of Baranyai states that, given integers $2\leq k < n$ such that $k$ divides $n$, one can find a family of ${n-1\choose k-1}$ partitions of $[n]$ into $k$-element subsets such that every subset appears in exactly one…

A partition n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k is called non-squashing if p_1 + ... + p_j <= p_{j+1} for 1 <= j <= k-1. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that the number of non-squashing partitions of n is equal to the…

Let $p(n)$ be the ordinary partition function. In the 1960s Atkin found a number of examples of congruences of the form $p( Q^3 \ell n+\beta)\equiv0\pmod\ell$ where $\ell$ and $Q$ are prime and $5\leq \ell\leq 31$; these lie in two natural…

Recently, Schneider and Schneider defined a new class of partitions called sequentially congruent partitions, in which each part is congruent to the next part modulo its index, and they proved two partition bijections involving these…

We introduce the problem of partitioning 2D regions (usually convex regions) into mutually congruent pieces ('tiles').

In this note, we provide three new, very short proofs of two interesting congruences for Merca's partition function $a(n)$, which enumerates integer partitions where the odd parts have multiplicity at most 2. These modulo 2 congruences were…

Recently, Nadji, Ahmia and Ram\'{i}rez \cite{Nadji2025} investigate the arithmetic properties of ${\bar B}_{\ell_1,\ell_2}(n)$, the number of overpartitions where no part is divisible by $\ell_1$ or $\ell_2$ with $\gcd(\ell_1,\ell_2)$$=1$…

Suppose $s$ and $t$ are coprime positive integers, and let $\sigma$ be an $s$-core partition and $\tau$ a $t$-core partition. In this paper we consider the set $\mathcal P_{\sigma,\tau}(n)$ of partitions of $n$ with $s$-core $\sigma$ and…

In this paper, we study various classes of partition functions such as those related to the parity of the number of parts, to differences of partition numbers, and to partitions with a repeated smallest part. We establish identities…

For two particles with different spin, we derive the Bell's inequality. The inequality is investigated for two systems combining spin-1 and 1/2; spin-1/2 and 3/2. We show that for these states Bell's inequality is violated.

For a positive integer $n$, let $B_{\ell_1,\dots,\ell_r}(n)$ denote the number of $(\ell_1,\ell_2,\cdots,\ell_r)$-regular multipartitions of $n$. If $\ell_1=\ell_2=\cdots=\ell_r=\ell$, then we denote $B_{\ell_1,\dots,\ell_r}(n)$ as…

Schur's partition theorem states that the number of partitions of n into distinct parts congruent 1, 2 (mod 3) equals the number of partitions of n into parts which differ by >= 3, where the inequality is strict if a part is a multiple of…

We prove that the number of partitions of an integer into at most b distinct parts of size at most n forms a unimodal sequence for n sufficiently large with respect to b. This resolves a recent conjecture of Stanley and Zanello.

We prove the congruence $\sum_{1 \leq k < \sqrt{N}} \sigma_0 (N - k^2) \equiv 0 \pmod 4$, where $\sigma_0(m)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of $m$, for $N = An + B$ with $(A,B) \in \{ (16,14),$ $(36,30),$ $(72,42),$ $(196,70),$…

A classical theorem of Luzin is that the separation principle holds for the Pi^0_alpha sets but fails for the Sigma^0_alpha sets. We show that for every Sigma^0_alpha set A which is not Pi^0_alpha there exists a Sigma^0_alpha set B which is…
