The notion of the spt-crank of a vector partition, or an $S$-partition, was introduced by Andrews, Garvan and Liang. Let $N_S(m,n)$ denote the number of $S$-partitions of $n$ with spt-crank $m$. Andrews, Dyson and Rhoades conjectured that…

We study the Dyson rank function $N(r,t;n)$, the number of partitions with rank congruent to $r$ modulo $t$. We first show that it is monotonic in $n$, and then show that it equidistributed as $n \rightarrow \infty$. Using this result we…

A result of Deza, Levin, Meesum, and Onn shows that the problem of deciding if a given sequence is the degree sequence of a 3-uniform hypergraph is NP complete. We tackle this problem in the random case and show that a random integer…

Let $b_{n,k}$ denote the number of hooks of length $k$ in all the $t$-regular partitions of $n$. Singh and Barman raised the question of finding the relation between $b_{t,2}(n)$ and $b_{t,1}(n)$. Kim showed that there exists $N$ such that…

We consider subsets of the (symbolic) sequence space that are invariant under the action of the semigroup of multiplicative integers. A representative example is the collection of all 0-1 sequences $(x_k)$ such that $x_k x_{2k}=0$ for all…

In this paper, we discuss a few recent conjectures made by George Beck related to the ranks and cranks of partitions. The conjectures for the rank of a partition were proved by Andrews by using results due to Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer on a…

In 2013 Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that $p(n)$ is never a power of an integer when $n>1.$ We confirm this claim in many cases. We also observe that integral powers appear to repel the partition numbers. If $k>1$ and $\Delta_k(n)$ is the…

For $k\geqslant 1$, denote by $p_k(n)$ the number of partitions of an integer $n$ into $k$-th powers. In this note, we apply the saddle-point method to provide a new proof for the well-known asymptotic expansion of $p_k(n)$. This approach…

Tverberg's theorem states that for any $k \ge 2$ and any set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of at least $(d + 1)(k - 1) + 1$ points in $d$ dimensions, we can partition $P$ into $k$ subsets whose convex hulls have a non-empty intersection. The…

Let $\alpha_k(\lambda)$ denote the number of $k$-hooks in a partition $\lambda$ and let $b(n,k)$ be the maximum value of $\alpha_k(\lambda)$ among partitions of $n$. Amdeberhan posed a conjecture on the generating function of $b(n,1)$. We…

In 2007, Grytczuk conjecture that for any sequence $(\ell_i)_{i\ge1}$ of alphabets of size $3$ there exists a square-free infinite word $w$ such that for all $i$, the $i$-th letter of $w$ belongs to $\ell_i$. The result of Thue of 1906…

We study a family of random Taylor series $$F(z) = \sum_{n\ge 0} \zeta_n a_n z^n$$ with radius of convergence almost surely $1$ and independent identically distributed complex Gaussian coefficients $(\zeta_n)$; these Taylor series are…

Let $p_{k,3}(n)$ enumerate the number of 2-color partition triples of $n$ where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of $k$. In this paper, we prove several infinite families of congruences modulo powers of 3 for…

Set partitions avoiding $k$-crossing and $k$-nesting have been extensively studied from the aspects of both combinatorics and mathematical biology. By using the generating tree technique, the obstinate kernel method and Zeilberger's…

We give a possible explanation for the mystery of a missing number in the statement of a problem that asks for the non-negative integers to be partitioned into three subsets. We interpret the missing number as one of the clues that can lead…

The rank of a skew partition $\lambda/\mu$, denoted $rank(\lambda/\mu)$, is the smallest number $r$ such that $\lambda/\mu$ is a disjoint union of $r$ border strips. Let $s_{\lambda/\mu}(1^t)$ denote the skew Schur function…

We make progress towards understanding the structure of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $g_{\lambda,\mu}^{\nu}$ for products of Jack symmetric functions. Building on recent results of the second author, we are able to prove new cases of…

Recent works at the interface of algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, number theory, and topology have provided new integer-valued invariants on integer partitions. It is natural to consider the distribution of partitions when…

A theorem of Gekeler compares the number of non-isomorphic automorphic representations associated with the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$ to a simpler function of $k$ and $N$, showing that the two are equal whenever $N$…

Free Maxwell theory on general four-manifolds may, under certain conditions on the background geometry, exhibit holomorphic factorization in its partition function. We show that when this occurs, new discrete symmetries emerge at orbifold…
