In this article, we study the arithmetic properties of the partition function $p_8(n)$, the number of 8-colour partitions of $n$. We prove several Ramanujan type congruences modulo higher powers of 2 for the function $p_8(n)$ by finding…
The author give a simple construction of Hurwitz spaces which is defined by Fried and Volklein, and generalize Hurwitz spaces. As a consequence of this construction, the author prove the regularities of the groups PSO^+_{n}(\mathbb F_{p^m})…
Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…
Recently, Gireesh, Ray, and Shivashankar studied an analog, $\overline{a}_t(n)$, of the $t$-core partition function, $c_t(n)$. In this paper, we study the function $\overline{a}_5(n)$ in conjunction with $c_5(n)$ as well as another…
In this work, we give combinatorial proofs for generating functions of two problems, i.e., flushed partitions and concave compositions of even length. We also give combinatorial interpretation of one problem posed by Sylvester involving…
Using a combinatorial bijection with certain abaci diagrams, Nath and Sellers have enumerated $(s, m s \pm 1)$-core partitions into distinct parts. We generalize their result in several directions by including the number of parts of these…
We are motivated by cone spherical metrics on compact Riemann surfaces of positive genus to solve a special case of the Hurwitz problem. Precisely speaking, letting $d,\,g$ and $\ell$ be three positive integers and $\Lambda$ be the…
We observe that for a and b relatively prime, the "abacus construction" identifies the set of simultaneous (a,b)-core partitions with lattice points in a rational simplex. Furthermore, many statistics on (a,b)-cores are piecewise polynomial…
In this paper we study partitions whose successive ranks belong to a given set. We enumerate such partitions while keeping track of the number of parts, the largest part, the side of the Durfee square, and the height of the Durfee…
Over the last century, a large variety of infinite congruence families have been discovered and studied, exhibiting a great variety with respect to their difficulty. Major complicating factors arise from the topology of the associated…
Graded contractions of certain non-toral $\mathbb{Z}_2^3$-gradings on the simple Lie algebras $\mathfrak{so}(7,\mathbb C)$ and $\f{so}(8,\mathbb C)$ are classified up to two notions of equivalence. In particular, there arise two large…
We give a series of recursive identities for the number of partitions with exactly $k$ parts and with constraints on both the minimal difference among the parts and the minimal part. Using these results we demonstrate that the number of…
Motivated by the theorem of Gy\H ori and Lov\'asz, we consider the following problem. For a connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges determine the number $P(G,k)$ of unordered solutions of positive integers $\sum_{i=1}^k m_i = m$…
Recently, Lin introduced two new partition functions PD$_t(n)$ and PDO$_t(n)$, which count the total number of tagged parts over all partitions of $n$ with designated summands and the total number of tagged parts over all partitions of $n$…
The values of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers, $\zeta(2n+1)$, are shown to admit a representation proportional to the finite-part of the divergent integral $\int_0^{\infty} t^{-2n-1} \operatorname{csch}t\,\mathrm{d}t$.…
Andrews and El Bachraoui recently studied integer partitions where the smallest part is repeated a specified number of times and any other parts are distinct. Their results included two ``surprising identities'' for which they requested…
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…
Let $p(n)$ be the ordinary partition function. In the 1960s Atkin found a number of examples of congruences of the form $p( Q^3 \ell n+\beta)\equiv0\pmod\ell$ where $\ell$ and $Q$ are prime and $5\leq \ell\leq 31$; these lie in two natural…
We are discussing certain combinatorial and counting problems related to quadratic algebras. First we give examples which confirm the Anick conjecture on the minimal Hilbert series for algebras given by n generators and n(n-1)/2 relations…
Using elementary methods, we prove new formulas for $\operatorname{pp}(n)$, the number of plane partitions of $n$, $\operatorname{pp}_r(n)$, the number of plane partitions of $n$ with at most $r$ rows, $\operatorname{pp}^s(n)$, the number…
