We obtain congruences for the number a(n) of cubic partitions using modular forms. The notion of cubic partitions is introduced by Chan and named by Kim in connection with Ramanujan's cubic continued fractions. Chan has shown that a(n) has…
Recently, Andrews and Bachraoui investigated congruences for certain restricted two-color partitions. They made two conjectures for Ramanujan type congruences and a vanishing identity for the limiting sequence. Very recently, Banerjee,…
In a recent study of sign-balanced, labelled posets Stanley, introduced a new integral partition statistic srank(pi) = O(pi) - O(pi'), where O(pi) denotes the number of odd parts of the partition pi and pi' is the conjugate of pi. Andrews…
In his second notebook, Ramanujan recorded total of 23 P-Q modular equations involving theta-functions $f(-q)$, $\varphi(q)$ and $\psi(q)$. In this paper, modular equations analogous to those recorded by Ramanujan are obtained involving…
We give congruences modulo powers of $p \in \{3, 5,7\}$ for the Fourier coefficients of certain modular functions in level $p$ with poles only at 0, answering a question posed by Andersen and the first author and continuing work done by the…
It is widely believed that the parity of the partition function $p(n)$ is ``random.'' Contrary to this expectation, in this note we prove the existence of infinitely many congruence relations modulo 4 among its values. For each square-free…
In a recent study of sign-balanced, labelled posets Stanley [13], introduced a new integral partition statistic srank(pi) = O(pi) - O(pi'), where O(pi) denotes the number of odd parts of the partition pi and pi' the conjugate of pi. In [1]…
Partitions wherein the even parts appear in two different colours are known as cubic partitions. Recently, Merca introduced and studied the function $A(n)$, which is defined as the difference between the number of cubic partitions of $n$…
Recently, much attention has been given to various inequalities among partition functions. For example, Nicolas, {and later DeSavlvo--Pak,} proved that $p(n)$ is eventually log-concave, and Ji--Zang showed that the cranks are eventually…
The arithmetic properties of the second order mock theta function $\mathcal{B}(q)$, introduced by McIntosh, defined by \begin{equation*} \mathcal{B}(q) := \sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{q^n (-q;q^2)_n}{(q;q^2)_{n+1}} = \sum_{n \geq 0}b(n)q^n,…
In order to provide a unified combinatorial interpretation of congruences modulo $5$ for 2-colored partition functions, Garvan introduced a bicrank statistic in terms of weighted vector partitions. In this paper, we obtain some inequalities…
The partition function is known to exhibit beautiful congruences that are often proved using the theory of modular forms. In this paper, we study the extent to which these congruence results apply to the generalized Frobenius partitions…
We compute the congruence class modulo 16 of the number of unique path partitions of $n$ (as defined by Olsson), thus generalising previous results by Bessenrodt, Olsson and Sellers [Ann. Combin. 13 (2013), 591-602].
Ramanujan listed several q-series identities in his lost notebook. The most well known q-series identities are the Rogers-Ramanujan type identities which are first discovered by Rogers and then rediscovered by Ramanujan. In this paper, we…
Page 27 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a beautiful identity which not only gives, as a special case, a famous modular relation between the Rogers-Ramanujan functions $G(q)$ and $H(q)$ but also a relation between two fifth order mock…
In the 1960s Atkin discovered congruences modulo primes $\ell\leq 31$ for the partition function $p(n)$ in arithmetic progressions modulo $\ell Q^3$, where $Q\neq \ell$ is prime. Recent work of the first author with Allen and Tang shows…
In a recent paper, Thejitha and Fathima introduced the overcolored partition function $\bar{a}_{r,s}(n)$, which enumerates overpartitions in which even parts may appear in one of $r$ colors and odd parts in one of $s$ colors, for fixed…
The partition function $ p_{[1^c\ell^d]}(n)$ can be defined using the generating function, \[\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}p_{[1^c{\ell}^d]}(n)q^n=\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{1}{(1-q^n)^c(1-q^{\ell n})^d}.\] In \cite{P}, we proved infinite family of…
In 2012 Paule and Radu proved a difficult family of congruences modulo powers of 5 for Andrews' 2-colored generalized Frobenius partition function. The family is associated with the classical modular curve of level 20. We demonstrate the…
In his 1984 AMS Memoir, George Andrews defined the family of $k$--colored generalized Frobenius partition functions. These are denoted by $c\phi_k(n)$ where $k\geq 1$ is the number of colors in question. In that Memoir, Andrews proved…
