In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called "sequentially congruent" partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to…
In 2011, Han and Ji proved addition-multiplication theorems for integer partitions, from which they derived modular analogues of many classical identities involving hook-length. In the present paper, we prove addition-multiplication…
We determine an infinite family of linear identities for the number $A_4(n)$ of partition pairs of $n$ with $4$-cores by employing elementary $q$-series techniques and certain $3$-dissection formulas. We then discover an infinite family of…
We exactly determine the maximum possible hook length of $(s,t)$-core partitions with $d$-distinct parts when there are finitely many such partitions. Moreover, we provide an algorithm to construct a $d$-distinct $(s,t)$-core partition with…
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…
We consider the $t$-core of an $s$-core partition, when $s$ and $t$ are coprime positive integers. Olsson has shown that the $t$-core of an $s$-core is again an $s$-core, and we examine certain actions of the affine symmetric group on…
A beautiful recent conjecture of D. Armstrong predicts the average size of a partition that is simultaneously an $s$-core and a $t$-core, where $s$ and $t$ are coprime. Our goal is to prove this conjecture when $t=s+1$. These simultaneous…
A partition of a positive integer $n$ is defined as a non-increasing sequence $P = [y_0, y_1, ..., y_m]$ of positive integers which sum to $n$, where the $y_i$ are called the $parts$ of the partition. A Young diagram is a visual…
Partitions with distinct even parts have long been the subject of extensive research. In this paper, We present some new perspectives on such partitions from a combinatorial viewpoint, and connect them with signed partitions and bicolored…
For a positive integer $t \geq 2$, the $t$-core of a partition plays an important role in modular representation theory and combinatorics. We initiate the study of $t$-cores of partitions contained in an $r \times s$ rectangle. Our main…
Jaclyn Anderson proved that if s and t are relatively prime positive integers, then there are exactly (s+t-1)!/(s!t!) partitions whose set of hook-lengths is disjoint from the set {s,t}. Drew Armstrong conjectured (and Paul Johnson, and a…
Let $\ell,k$ be fixed positive integers. In an earlier work, the first and third authors established a bijection between $\ell$-cores with first part equal to $k$ and $(\ell-1)$-cores with first part less than or equal to $k$. This paper…
We prove new bijections between different variants of Dyck paths and integer compositions, which give combinatorial explanations of their simple counting formula $4^{n-1}$. These give relations between different statistics, such as the…
Let $A_{t,k}(n)$ denote the number of partition $k$-tuples of $n$ where each partition is $t$-core. In this paper, we establish formulas of $A_{t,k}(n)$ for some values of $t$ and $k$ by employing the method of modular forms, which extends…
The celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan identities equate the number of integer partitions of $n$ ($n\in\mathbb N_0$) with parts congruent to $\pm 1 \pmod{5}$ (respectively $\pm 2 \pmod{5}$) and the number of partitions of $n$ with super-distinct…
The main objective of this paper is to investigate the distribution of the Andrews-Garvan-Dyson crank of a partition. Let $M(m,n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with the Andrews-Garvan-Dyson crank $m$, we show that the sequence…
We give a bijection between partially directed paths in the symmetric wedge y= +/-x and matchings, which sends north steps to nestings. This gives a bijective proof of a result of Prellberg et al. that was first discovered through the…
We find the number of partitions of $n$ whose BG-rank is $j$, in terms of $pp(n)$, the number of pairs of partitions whose total number of cells is $n$, giving both bijective and generating function proofs. Next we find congruences mod 5…
We show that many theorems which assert that two kinds of partitions of the same integer $n$ are equinumerous are actually special cases of a much stronger form of equality. We show that in fact there correspond partition statistics $X$ and…
In the eleventh paper in the series on MacMahons partition analysis, Andrews and Paule [1] introduced the $k$ elongated partition diamonds. Recently, they [2] revisited the topic. Let $d_k(n)$ count the partitions obtained by adding the…
