We consider the equal sum partition problem, motivated by distance magic graph labeling: Given $n,k \in \N$ such that $k\, | \sum_{i=1}^ni$ and a partition $p_1+\cdots+p_k=n$, when is it possible to find a partition of the set…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. In this article, we will show that congruences of the form $$ p(m^j\ell^kn+B)\equiv 0\mod m \text{for all} n\ge 0 $$ exist for all primes $m$ and $\ell$ satisfying $m\ge 13$ and $\ell\neq 2,3,m$.…

We consider simple modules for a Hecke algebra with a parameter of quantum characteristic $e$. Equivalently, we consider simple modules $D^{\lambda}$, labelled by $e$-restricted partitions $\lambda$ of $n$, for a cyclotomic KLR algebra…

It is known that the Kronecker coefficient of three partitions is a bounded and weakly increasing sequence if one increases the first part of all three partitions. Furthermore if the first parts of partitions \lambda,\mu are big enough then…

Previous work showed that, for $\nu_2(n)$ the number of partitions of $n$ into exactly two part sizes, one has $\nu_2(16n + 14) \equiv 0 \pmod{4}$. The earlier proof required the technology of modular forms, and a combinatorial proof was…

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 $p_k(n)$.…

Starting from Jacobi-Trudi's type determinental expressions for the Schur functions corresponding to types $B,C$ and $D,$ we define a natural $q$-analogue of the multiplicity $[V(\lambda):M(\mu)]$ when $M(\mu)$ is a tensor product of row or…

Let $K$ be an infinite field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $\lambda, \mu$ be partitions of $n$, where $\lambda=(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n)$ and $\mu=(\mu_1,..,\mu_n)$. By $S^{\lambda}$ we denote the Specht module corresponding to $\lambda$…

We prove that the generating function of partitions into $k$-th powers is strongly Gaussian in the sense of B\'aez-Duarte. Within the probabilistic framework of Khinchin families, the Hardy--Ramanujan asymptotic formula for the…

We prove a conjecture of Okada giving an exact formula for a certain statistic for hook-lengths of partitions: \frac{1}{n!} \sum_{\lambda \vdash n} f_{\lambda}^2 \sum_{u \in \lambda} \prod_{i=1}^{r}(h_u^2 - i^2) = \frac{1}{2(r+1)^2}…

Let $b^{k}_{\ell,m}(n)$ denotes the number of $k-$colored partitions of $n$ into parts that are not multiples of $\ell$ or $m$. We establish several congruence relations for $b_{\ell,m}(n)$. For instance, for any nonnegative integer $n$…

Some conjectures on partition hook lengths, recently stated by the author, have been proved and generalized by Stanley, who also needed a formula by Andrews, Goulden and Jackson on symmetric functions to complete his derivation. Another…
