In this paper we study $b_5(n)$, the $5$-regular partitions of $n$. Using the theory of modular forms, we prove several theorems on the divisibility and distribution properties of $b_5(n)$ modulo prime $m\geq5$. In particular, we prove that…

Recently the author introduced two new integer partition quadruple functions, which satisfy Ramanujan-type congruences modulo $3$, $5$, $7$, and $13$. Here we reprove the congruences modulo $3$, $5$, and $7$ by defining a rank-type…

We denote the number of partitions of $n$ wherein the even parts are distinct (and the odd parts are unrestricted) by $ped(n)$. In this paper, we will use generating function manipulations to obtain new congruences for $ped(n)$ modulo $24$.

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 $n$…

Alanzi et al. (2022) investigated overpartition of a positive integer $n$ with $\ell$-regular non-overlined parts denoted by $\overline R_\ell^\ast (n)$, and proved some results for the case $\ell=3$. As extension to the results of Alanzi…

Recently, Ballantine and Welch considered various generalizations and refinements of POD and PED partitions. These are integer partitions wherein the odd parts must be distinct (in the case of POD partitions) or the even parts must be…

Let $p\equiv 2,5\mod 9$ be a prime. We prove that both $3p$ and $3p^2$ are cube sums. We also establish some explicit Gross-Zagier formulae and investigate the 3 part full BSD conjecture of the related elliptic curves.

We study the equation $(x-4r)^3 + (x-3r)^3 + (x-2r)^3+(x-r)^3 + x^3 + (x+r)^3+(x+2r)^3 + (x+3r)^3 + (x+4r)^3 = y^p$, which is a natural continuation of previous works carried out by A. Arg\'{a}ez-Garc\'{i}a and the fourth author (perfect…

In this paper, we prove that every prime $p$ which is congruent to $4,7$ modulo $9$ is the sum of two rational cubes. This is $2/3$ of Sylvester's conjecture which has a history of nearly 150 years since 1879. In the proof, we use recent…

For a fixed positive integer $k$, let $C(k,n)$ denote the number of two-color partitions of $n$ with odd smallest part and restrictions on even parts, and let $C_k(q)$ be its generating function. We show that $C(1,n)\equiv d(2n-1)\pmod{4}$…
