Suppose $s$ and $t$ are coprime natural numbers. A theorem of Olsson says that the $t$-core of an $s$-core partition is again an $s$-core. We generalise this theorem, showing that the $s$-weight of the $t$-core of a partition $\lambda$ is…
A partition is a $\bar{s}$-core if it is the result of removing all of the $s$-bars from a partition. We extend a method of Olsson and Bessenrodt to determine the number of even partitions that are simultaneously $\bar{s}$-core and…
If $s$ and $t$ are relatively prime J. Olsson proved in 2008 that the $s$-core of a $t$-core partition is again a $t$-core partition, and that the $s$-bar-core of a $t$-bar-core partition is again a $t$-bar-core partition. Here generalized…
In this paper, we present, given a odd integer $d$, a decomposition of the multiset of bar lengths of a bar partition $\lambda$ as the union of two multisets, one consisting of the bar lengths in its $\bar{d}$-core partition…
Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a subgroup of $GL_d(p)$. We define $G$ to be $p$-exceptional if it has order divisible by $p$, but all its orbits on vectors have size coprime to $p$. We obtain a classification of $p$-exceptional linear groups.…
For each $n\geq 1$, we express the partition function $p(n)$ as a CM trace on $X_0(6)$ of the discriminant $\Delta_n:=1-24n$ invariants of a weight 0 weak Maass function $P$ that records where CM elliptic curves sit on $X(1)$, together with…
The parity of the partition function $p(n)$ remains strikingly mysterious. Beyond a handful of fragmentary results, essentially nothing is known about the distribution of parity. We prove a uniform result on quadratic progressions. If…
We study two classes of operator algebras associated with a unital subsemigroup $P$ of a discrete group $G$: one related to universal structures, and one related to co-universal structures. First we provide connections between universal…
Self-orthogonal codes are an important subclass of linear codes which have nice applications in quantum codes and lattices. It is known that a binary linear code is self-orthogonal if its every codeword has weight divisible by four, and a…
In 2003, Maroti showed that one could use the machinery of l-cores and l-quotients of partitions to establish lower bounds for p(n), the number of partitions of n. In this paper we explore these ideas in the case l=2, using them to give a…
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…
It is known that for coprime integers $p>q\geq 1$, the lens space $L(p^2,pq-1)$ bounds a rational ball, $B_{p,q}$, arising as the 2-fold branched cover of a (smooth) slice disk in $B^4$ bounding the associated 2-bridge knot. Lekilli and…
An asymptotic formula for the number of partitions into p-cores is derived. As a byproduct some integer valued trigonometric sums are found
Simultaneous bar-cores, core shifted Young diagrams (or CSYDs), and doubled distinct cores have been studied since Morris and Yaseen introduced the concept of bar-cores. In this paper, our goal is to give a formula for the number of these…
We give an overview of the generalized Calder\'on-Zygmund theory for "non-integral" singular operators, that is, operators without kernels bounds but appropriate off-diagonal estimates. This theory is powerful enough to obtain weighted…
The Jordan type of a nilpotent matrix is the partition giving the sizes of its Jordan blocks. We study pairs of partitions $(P,Q)$, where $Q={\mathcal Q}(P)$ is the Jordan type of a generic nilpotent matrix A commuting with a nilpotent…
Let $p$ be prime. We prove that, for $n$ odd, the $p$-torsion part of $\pi_q(S^{n})$ has cardinality at most $p^{2^{\frac{1}{p-1}(q-n+3-2p)}}$, and hence has rank at most $2^{\frac{1}{p-1}(q-n+3-2p)}$. For $p=2$ these results also hold for…
In this paper, we show that the difference between the number of parts in the odd partitions of $n$ and the number of parts in the distinct partitions of $n$ satisfies Euler's recurrence relation for the partition function $p(n)$ when $n$…
We study generalized gauge theories engineered by taking the low energy limit of the $Dp$ branes wrapping $X \times T^{p-3}$, with $X$ a possibly singular surface in a Calabi-Yau fourfold $Z$. For toric $Z$ and $X$ the partition function…
We present a natural multiplicative theory of integer partitions (which are usually considered in terms of addition), and find many theorems of classical number theory arise as particular cases of extremely general combinatorial structure…
