For any relatively prime integers $r$ and $s$, let $a_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of $(r,s)$-regular partitions of a positive integer of $n$ into distinct parts. Prasad and Prasad (2018) proved many infinite families of congruences modulo 2…
Many famous integer sequences including the Catalan numbers and the Motzkin numbers can be expressed in the form $ConstantTermOf\left[P(x)^nQ(x)\right]$ for Laurent polynomials $Q$, and symmetric Laurent trinomials $P$. In this paper we…
The behaviour of Hecke polynomials modulo p has been the subject of some study. In this note we show that, if p is a prime, the set of integers N such that the Hecke polynomials T^{N,\chi}_{l,k} for all primes l, all weights k>1 and all…
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 \(d_k(p)\) denote the natural density of positive integers whose \(k\)-th smallest prime divisor is \(p\). Erd\H{o}s asked whether, for each fixed \(k\), the sequence \(p\mapsto d_k(p)\) is unimodal as \(p\) ranges over the primes.…
Let $p_{k,3}(n)$ enumerate the number of 2-color partition triples of $n$ where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of $k$. In this paper, we prove several infinite families of congruences modulo powers of 3 for…
For a positive integer $n$, let $B_{\ell_1,\dots,\ell_r}(n)$ denote the number of $(\ell_1,\ell_2,\cdots,\ell_r)$-regular multipartitions of $n$. If $\ell_1=\ell_2=\cdots=\ell_r=\ell$, then we denote $B_{\ell_1,\dots,\ell_r}(n)$ as…
We study the uniform distribution of the polynomial sequence $\lambda(P)=(\lfloor P(k) \rfloor )_{k\geq 1}$ modulo integers, where $P(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients. In the nonlinear case, we show that $\lambda(P)$ is uniformly…
Let $pod_2(n)$ denote the number of $2$-regular partitions of $n$ with distinct odd parts (even parts are unrestricted). In this article, we obtain congruences for $pod_2(n)$ mod $2$ and mod $8$ using some generating function manipulations…
Let $p$ be a sufficiently large prime number, $n$ be a positive odd integer with $n|\,p-1$ and $n>p^\varepsilon $, where $\varepsilon$ is a sufficiently small constant. Let $k(p,\,n)$ denote the least positive integer $k$ such that for…
A partition is said to be $\ell$-regular if none of its parts is a multiple of $\ell$. Let $b^\prime_5(n)$ denote the number of 5-regular partitions into distinct parts (equivalently, into odd parts) of $n$. This function has also close…
It was shown by V. Bergelson that any set B with positive upper multiplicative density contains nicely intertwined arithmetic and geometric progressions: For each positive integer k there exist integers a,b,d such that $ {b(a+id)^j:i,j…
Let $A$ be a 2-dimensional abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. Fix a prime number $\ell$ and suppose $\#A(\mathbb{F}_p) \equiv 0 \pmod{\ell^2}$ for a set of primes $\mathfrak{p} \subset \mathcal{O}_K$ of density 1. When…
It is proved that the number of partitions of n with odd mex and k parts that aren't ones equals the number of partitions of n with nonnegative crank and k parts that aren't ones..
For a positive integer $t\geq 2$, let $b_{t}(n)$ denote the number of $t$-regular partitions of a nonnegative integer $n$. Motivated by some recent conjectures of Keith and Zanello, we establish infinite families of congruences modulo $2$…
In 2017, Keith presented a comprehensive survey on integer partitions into parts that are simultaneously regular, distinct, and/or flat. Recently, the authors initiated a study of partitions into parts that are simultaneously regular and…
We obtain new lower bounds for the number of Fourier coefficients of a weakly holomorphic modular form of half-integral weight not divisible by some prime $\ell$. Among the applications of this we show that there are $\gg \sqrt{X}/\log \log…
Consider the (almost surely) unique Radon partition of a set of $n$ random Gaussian vectors in $\mathbb R^{n-2}$; choose one of the two parts of this partition uniformly at random, and for $0 \le k \le n$, let $p_k$ denote the probability…
A partition n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k is called non-squashing if p_1 + ... + p_j <= p_{j+1} for 1 <= j <= k-1. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that the number of non-squashing partitions of n is equal to the…
