We study frequency moments of partition statistics arising from Euler products $A(q)=\prod_{r\ge1}(1-q^r)^{-c(r)}$ via a transform that expresses the moment generating functions as $B(q)$ times explicit divisor--sum series determined by…

This paper provides algebraic proofs for several types of congruences involving the multipartition function and self-convolutions of the divisor function. Our computations use methods of Differential Algebra in $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}$,…

We give congruences modulo powers of $p \in \{3, 5,7\}$ for the Fourier coefficients of certain modular functions in level $p$ with poles only at 0, answering a question posed by Andersen and the first author and continuing work done by the…

In the present paper we initiate the study of a certain kind of partition inequality, by showing, for example, that if $M\geq 5$ is an integer and the integers $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime to $M$ and satisfy $1\leq a<b<M/2$, and the…

Let $\ell \geq 5$ be a prime, and let $\nu_\eta$ denote the Dedekind eta multiplier. For an odd integer $r$, and a real Dirichlet character $\psi$, recent work of Ahlgren, Andersen, and the author showed that quadratic congruences modulo…

Let $E$ be a level 1, vector valued Eisenstein series of half-integral weight, normalized so that the coefficients are all in $\mathbb{Z}$. We show that there is a level one vector valued cusp form $f$ with the same weight as $E$ and with…

We computed the actions for the 1D N=5 sigma-models with respect to the two inequivalent (2,8,6) multiplets. 4 supersymmetry generators are manifest, while the constraint originated by imposing the 5-th supersymmetry automatically induces a…

Partitions wherein the even parts appear in two different colours are known as cubic partitions. Recently, Merca introduced and studied the function $A(n)$, which is defined as the difference between the number of cubic partitions of $n$…

We obtain a combinatorial proof of a surprising weighted partition equality of Berkovich and Uncu. Our proof naturally leads to a formula for the number of partitions with a given parity of the smallest part, in terms of S(i), the number of…

In 2022, Broudy and Lovejoy extensively studied the function $S(n)$ which counts the number of overpartitions of \emph{Schur-type}. In particular, they proved a number of congruences satisfied by $S(n)$ modulo $2$, $4$, and $5$. In this…

We prove several supercongruences involving the harmonic number of order two $H_n^{(2)}:=\sum_{k=1}^n1/k^2$. For example, if $p>5$ is prime and $\alpha$ is $p$-integral, then we can completely determine $$…

We build on the recent characterisation of congruences on the infinite twisted partition monoids $\mathcal{P}_{n}^\Phi$ and their finite $d$-twisted homomorphic images $\mathcal{P}_{n,d}^\Phi$, and investigate their algebraic and…

We consider a geometric combinatorial problem naturally associated to the geometric topology of certain spherical space forms. Given a collection of $m$ mass distributions on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the existence of $k$ affinely independent regular…

We investigate congruence relations of the form $p_r(\ell m n + t) \equiv 0 \pmod{\ell}$ for all $n$, where $p_r(n)$ is the number of $r$-colored partitions of $n$ and $m,\ell$ are distinct primes.

In this article, we first investigate the partitions whose parts are congruent to $a$ or $b$ modulo $k$ with the aid of separable integer partition classes with modulus $k$ introduced by Andrews. Then, we introduce the…

Let $\ell\ge5$ be an odd prime and $j, s$ be positive integers. We study the distribution of the coefficients of integer and half-integral weight modular forms modulo odd positive integer $M$. As a consequence, we prove that for each…

Given a prime $p \ge 5$ and an abstract odd representation $\rho_n$ with coefficients modulo $p^n$ (for some $n \ge 1$) and big image, we prove the existence of a lift of $\rho_n$ to characteristic $0$ whenever local lifts exist (under some…

Andrews and Paule revisited combinatorial structures known as the $k$-elongated partition diamonds, which were introduced in connection with the study of the broken $k$-diamond partitions. They found the generating function for the number…

Let A be a finite subset of the natural numbers containing 0, and let f(n) denote the number of ways to write n in the form $\sum e_j2^j$, where $\e_j \in A$. We show that there exists a computable T = T(A) so that the sequence (f(n) mod 2)…

For integers $0 < r \leq t$, let the function $D_{r,t}(n)$ denote the number of parts among all partitions of $n$ into distinct parts that are congruent to $r$ modulo $t$. We prove the asymptotic formula $$D_{r,t}(n) \sim \dfrac{3^{\frac…
