The parity of the partition function $p(n)$ remains strikingly mysterious. Beyond a handful of fragmentary results, essentially nothing is known about the distribution of parity. We prove a uniform result on quadratic progressions. If…
Semiclassical spectra weighted with products of diagonal matrix elements of operators A_{alpha}, i.e., g_{alpha alpha'}(E) = sum_n <n|A_{alpha}|n><n|A_{alpha'}|n>/(E-E_n) are obtained by harmonic inversion of a cross-correlation signal…

Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…
We describe some semiclassical spectral properties of Harper-like operators, i.e. of one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians periodic in both momentum and position. The spectral region corresponding to the separatrices of the classical…
In this paper we produce a few continuations of our previous work on partitions into fractions. Specifically, we study strictly increasing integer sequences $\{n_j\}$ such that there are partitions for all integers less than the floor of…

This paper exploits the connection between the quantum many-particle density of states and the partitioning of an integer in number theory. For $N$ bosons in a one dimensional harmonic oscillator potential, it is well known that the…
Let $\mathcal{O}$ be the ring of integers for some number field $F$. Let $\chi(x)\in \mathcal{O}[x]$ be a regular monic polynomial of degree $n$. We study the asymptotic count of integral $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathcal{O}$ with the…
We study the functional calculus for operators of the form $f_h(P(h))$ within the theory of semiclassical pseudodifferential operators, where $\{f_h\}_{h\in (0,1]}\subset C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R})$ denotes a family of $h$-dependent functions…
We derive semiclassical trace formulae including Gutzwiller's trace formula using coherent states. This formulation has several advantages over the usual coordinate-space formulation. Using a coherent-state basis makes it immediately…
Improving upon previous work on the subject, we use Wright's Circle Method to derive an asymptotic formula for the number of parts in all partitions of an integer that are in any given arithmetic progression.
