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 this paper, we calculate an exact formula for the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, where the largest part is even and no odd parts appears more than two times. The generating functions of the number of these partitions is a…

An important conjecture in additive combinatorics, number theory, and algebraic geometry posits that the partition rank and analytic rank of tensors are equal up to a constant, over any finite field. We prove the conjecture up to a…

In 2016 Bessenrodt--Ono discovered an inequality addressing additive and multiplicative properties of the partition function. Generalization by several authors have been given; on partitions with rank in a given residue class by…

We provide quantitative information in the form of a rate of metastability in the sense of T. Tao and (under a metric regularity assumption) a rate of convergence for an algorithm approximating zeros of differences of maximally monotone…

Asymptotic formulas of the number of various partitions are studied, like 3-colored partitions, concave partitions, certain plane partitions, partitions without small parts, the number of p-rings.

We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (log-BMI) for the Lebesque measure in dimension $n$ would imply the log-BMI and, therefore, the B-conjecture for any log-concave density in dimension $n$. As a consequence, we prove the…

One can reduce the problem of proving that a polynomial is nonnegative, or more generally of proving that a system of polynomial inequalities has no solutions, to finding polynomials that are sums of squares of polynomials and satisfy some…

Majorization inequalities for symmetric polynomials have interested mathematicians for centuries, from the AM-GM inequality for two variables going back at least to Euclid, through classical results of Newton, Muirhead and Gantmacher, to…

We study M(n), the number of distinct values taken by multinomial coefficients with upper entry n, and some closely related sequences. We show that both pP(n)/M(n) and M(n)/p(n) tend to zero as n goes to infinity, where pP(n) is the number…

We explore the geometry behind the modular bootstrap and its image in the space of Taylor coefficients of the torus partition function. In the first part, we identify the geometry as an intersection of planes with the convex hull of moment…

A partition of a positive integer $n$ is said to be $t$-core if none of its hook lengths are divisible by $t$. Recently, two analogues, $\overline{a}_t(n)$ and $\overline{b}_t(n)$, of the $t$-core partition function, $c_t(n)$, have been…

We show that normalized Schur polynomials are strongly log-concave. As a consequence, we obtain Okounkov's log-concavity conjecture for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in the special case of Kostka numbers.

We review some simple techniques based on monotone mass transport that allow to obtain transport-type inequalities for any log-concave probability measure, and for more general measures as well. We discuss quantitative forms of these…

Let $F$ and $G$ be linear recurrences over a number field $\mathbb{K}$, and let $\mathfrak{R}$ be a finitely generated subring of $\mathbb{K}$. Furthermore, let $\mathcal{N}$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that $G(n) \neq 0$ and…

We propose a new approach to deriving quantitative mean field approximations for any probability measure $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density proportional to $e^{f(x)}$, for $f$ strongly concave. We bound the mean field approximation for the…

Recently, Hirschhorn and Sellers defined the partition function $a_r(n)$, which counts the number of partitions of $n$ wherein even parts come in only one color, while the odd parts may appear in one of $r$-colors for fixed $r\ge1$. The aim…

We give a criterion for the Kac conjecture asserting that the free term of the polynomial counting the absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field of given dimension coincides with the corresponding root…

The purpose of this note is to introduce a new approach to the study of one of the most basic and seemingly intractable problems in partition theory, namely the conjecture that the partition function $p(n)$ is equidistributed modulo 2. Our…

We introduce the antipodal pairs property for probability measures on finite Boolean algebras and prove that conditional versions imply strong forms of log-concavity. We give several applications of this fact, including improvements of some…
