Integer partitions have long been of interest to number theorists, perhaps most notably Ramanujan, and are related to many areas of mathematics including combinatorics, modular forms, representation theory, analysis, and mathematical…

In 2020, Kang and Park conjectured a "level $2$" Alder-type partition inequality which encompasses the second Rogers-Ramanujan Identity. Duncan, Khunger, the fourth author, and Tamura proved Kang and Park's conjecture for all but finitely…

The Alder-Andrews Theorem, a partition inequality generalizing Euler's partition identity, the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity, and a theorem of Schur to $d$-distinct partitions of $n$, was proved successively by Andrews in 1971, Yee in…

We show that the Generalized Vanishing Conjecture $$\forall_{m \ge 1} [\Lam^m f^m = 0] \Longrightarrow \forall_{m \gg 0} [\Lam^m (g f^m) = 0]$$ for a fixed differential operator $\Lam \in k[\partial]$ follows from a special case of it,…

In his study of Nekrasov-Okounkov type formulas on "partition theoretic" expressions for families of infinite products, Han discovered seemingly unrelated $q$-series that are supported on precisely the same terms as these infinite products.…

A Known Alder-type partition inequality of level $a$, which involves the second Rogers-Ramanujan identity when the level $a$ is 2, states that the number of partitions of $n$ into parts differing by at least $d$ with the smallest part being…

In light of the well-known fact that the $n$th divided difference of any polynomial of degree $m$ must be zero while $m<n$,the present paper proves the $(\alpha,\beta)$-inversion formula conjectured by Hsu and Ma [J. Math. Res. $\&$…

In a paper of 2003, B. K\"ulshammer, J. B. Olsson and G. R. Robinson defined $\ell$-blocks for the symmetric groups, where $\ell >1$ is an arbitrary integer, and proved that they satisfy an analogue of the Nakayama Conjecture. Inspired by…

We prove three main conjectures of Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. 23 (2019) 263--284) on the inequalities between the numbers of partitions of $n$ with bounded gap between largest and smallest parts for sufficiently large $n$. Actually our…

Motivated by the Nekrasov-Okounkov formula on hook lengths, the first author conjectured that the Plancherel average of the $2k$-th power sum of hook lengths of partitions with size $n$ is always a polynomial of $n$ for any $k\in…

We conjecture a formula for the symmetric function $\frac{[n-k]_t}{[n]_t}\Delta_{h_m}\Delta_{e_{n-k}}\omega(p_n)$ in terms of decorated partially labelled square paths. This can be seen as a generalization of the square conjecture of Loehr…

Let $\Omega_n$ denote the set of all doubly stochastic matrices of order $n$. Lih and Wang conjectured that for $n\geq3$, per$(tJ_n+(1-t)A)\leq t $per$J_n+(1-t)$per$A$, for all $A\in\Omega_n$ and all $t \in [0.5,1]$, where $J_n$ is the $n…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. DeSalvo and Pak proved that $\frac{p(n-1)}{p(n)}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)> \frac{p(n)}{p(n+1)}$ for $n\geq 2$, as conjectured by Chen. Moreover, they conjectured that a sharper inequality…

For positive integers $s$ and $L \geq 3$, Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. $23$ ($2019$) $263$--$284$) conjectured an inequality between the sizes of two closely related sets of partitions whose parts lie in the interval $\{s, \ldots, L+s\}$.…

We extend the original cylinder conjecture on point sets in affine three-dimensional space to the more general framework of divisible linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and their classification. Through a mix of linear programming,…

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…

We prove the cases q=0 and t=0 of the generalized Delta conjecture of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson involving the symmetric function $\Delta_{h_m}\Delta_{e_{n-k-1}}'e_n$. Our theorem generalizes recent results by Garsia, Haglund, Remmel and…

In 2016, Jang and Kim stated a conjecture about the norms of indecomposable integers in real quadratic number fields $\mathbb{Q} \left( \sqrt{D} \right)$ where $D>1$ is a squarefree integer. Their conjecture was later disproved by Kala for…
