In this paper, we obtain asymptotic formulas for $k$-crank of $k$-colored partitions. Let $M_k(a, c; n)$ denote the number of $k$-colored partitions of $n$ with a $k$-crank congruent to $a$ mod $c$. For the cases $k=2,3,4$, Fu and Tang…

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…

In order to provide a unified combinatorial interpretation of congruences modulo $5$ for 2-colored partition functions, Garvan introduced a bicrank statistic in terms of weighted vector partitions. In this paper, we obtain some inequalities…

Andrews, Lewis and Lovejoy introduced the partition function $PD(n)$ as the number of partitions of $n$ with designated summands. A bipartition of $n$ is an ordered pair of partitions $(\pi_1, \pi_2)$ with the sum of all of the parts being…

Let $k$ be a positive integer and $m$ be an integer. Garvan's $k$-rank $N_k(m,n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into at least $(k-1)$ successive Durfee squares with $k$-rank equal to $m$. In this paper give some asymptotics for…

In 2003, Atkin and Garvan initiated the study of rank and crank moments for ordinary partitions. These moments satisfy a strict inequality. We prove that a strict inequality also holds for the first rank and crank moments of overpartitions…

By introducing $k$-marked Durfee symbols, Andrews found a combinatorial interpretation of $2k$-th symmetrized moment $\eta_{2k}(n)$ of ranks of partitions of $n$. Recently, Garvan introduced the $2k$-th symmetrized moment $\mu_{2k}(n)$ of…

In this paper, motivated by the work of Mahlburg, we find congruences for a large class of modular forms. Moreover, we generalize the generating function of the Andrews-Garvan-Dyson crank on partition and establish several new infinite…

In 2003, Hammond and Lewis defined a statistic on partitions into 2 colors which combinatorially explains certain well known partition congruences mod 5. We give two analogs of Hammond and Lewis's birank statistic. One analog is in terms of…

Let $N_k(m,n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with Garvan $k$-rank $m$. It is well-known that Andrews-Garvan-Dyson's crank and Dyson's rank are the $k$-rank for $k=1$ and $k=2$, respectively. In this paper, we prove that the…

We consider $(k,j)$-colored partitions, partitions in which $k$ colors exist but at most $j$ colors may be chosen per size of part. In particular these generalize overpartitions. Advancing previous work, we find new congruences, including…

We consider the symmetrized moments of three ranks and cranks, similar to the work of Garvan for the rank and crank of a partition. By using Bailey pairs and elementary rearrangements, we are able to find useful expressions for these…

We investigate the classical and distributed complexity of \emph{$k$-partial $c$-coloring} where $c=k$, a natural generalization of Brooks' theorem where each vertex should be colored from the palette $\{1,\ldots,c\} = \{1,\ldots,k\}$ such…

Noting a curious link between Andrews' even-odd crank and the Stanley rank, we adopt a combinatorial approach building on the map of conjugation and continue the study of integer partitions with parts separated by parity. Our motivation is…

Two analogues of the crank function are defined for overpartitions -- the first residual crank and the second residual crank. This suggests an exploration of crank functions defined for overpartitions whose parts are divisible by an…
