Ramanujan famously found congruences for the partition function like p(5n+4) = 0 modulo 5. We provide a method to find all simple congruences of this type in the coefficients of the inverse of a modular form on Gamma_{1}(4) which is…

Recently Amdeberhan, Sellers, and Singh introduced a new infinite family of partition functions called generalized cubic partitions. Given a positive integer $d$, they let $a_d(n)$ be the counting function for partitions of $n$ in which the…

We develop the theory of copartitions, which are a generalization of partitions with connections to many classical topics in partition theory, including Rogers-Ramanujan partitions, theta functions, mock theta functions, partitions with…

In this short note, we prove several new congruences for the overcubic partition triples function, using both elementary techniques and the theory of modular forms. These extend the recent list of such congruences given by Nayaka,…

A cubic partition consists of partition pairs $(\lambda,\mu)$ such that $\vert\lambda\vert+\vert\mu\vert=n$ where $\mu$ involves only even integers but no restriction is placed on $\lambda$. This paper initiates the notion of generalized…

Let $p_k(n)$ denote the number of $2$-color partitions of $n$ where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of $k$. We will prove a conjecture of Ahmed, Baruah, and Dastidar on congruences modulo $5$ for $p_k(n)$.…

We study a curious class of partitions, the parts of which obey an exceedingly strict congruence condition we refer to as "sequential congruence": the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part…

Ramanujan's congruence $p(5k+4) \equiv 0 \pmod 5$ led Dyson \cite{dyson} to conjecture the existence of a measure "rank" such that $p(5k+4)$ partitions of $5k+4$ could be divided into sub-classes with equal cardinality to give a direct…
