In this paper, we study the $n$-point function of $t$-core partitions. The main tool is the topological vertex, originally developed to study the topological string theory for toric Calabi--Yau 3-folds. By virtue of the topological vertex,…

The Euler theorem in partition theory and its generalization are derived from a non-interacting quantum field theory in which each bosonic mode with a given frequency is equivalent to a sum of bosonic mode whose frequency is twice…
Euler's theorem asserts that $A(n)=B(n)$ where $A(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts and $B(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts. In this paper, it is proved that for $n>0$, \begin{align*}…
We obtain a new family of relations satisfied by the partition function. In contrast with most partition relations, these involve non-trivial roots of unity. We present two proofs, one using the fact that the discriminant modular form is a…
In this paper, by the generalized Bell umbra and Rolle's theorem, we give some results on the real rootedness of polynomials. Some applications on partition polynomials and the sigma polynomials of graphs are given.
The paper contains an exposition of part of topology using partitions of unity. The main idea is to create variants of the Tietze Extension Theorem and use them to derive classical theorems. This idea leads to a new result generalizing…
Presented are polynomial identities which imply generalizations of Euler and Rogers--Ramanujan identities. Both sides of the identities can be interpreted as generating functions of certain restricted partitions. We prove the identities by…
We determine the M\"obius function of the poset of compositions of an integer. In fact we give two proofs of this formula, one using an involution and one involving discrete Morse theory. The composition poset turns out to be intimately…
The purpose of this note is to prove an Euler-type formula for partitions of the M\"obius strip. This formula was introduced in our joint paper with R.~Kiwan, "Courant-sharp property for Dirichlet eigenfunctions on the M\"obius strip"…
In this note, we provide refined estimates of the following sums involving the Euler totient function: $$\sum_{n\le x} \phi\left(\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]\right) \qquad \text{and} \qquad \sum_{n\le x} \frac{\phi([x/n])}{[x/n]}$$ where $[x]$…
The theory of partition congruences has been a fascinating and difficult subject for over a century now. In attempting to prove a given congruence family, multiple possible complications include the genus of the underlying modular curve,…
We offer new Tauberian theorems for a generalized partition function as our main result. Our analysis provides insight into asymptotic behavior of power series with arithmetic functions as coefficients.
We obtain recurrences for smallest parts functions which resemble Euler's recurrence for the ordinary partition function. The proofs involve the holomorphic projection of non-holomorphic modular forms of weight 2.
Bressoud introduced the partition function $B(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_\lambda;\eta,k,r;n)$, which counts the number of partitions with certain difference conditions. Bressoud posed a conjecture on the generating function for the partition…
We generalize recent matrix-based factorization theorems for Lambert series generating functions generating the coefficients $(f \ast 1)(n)$ for some arithmetic function $f$. Our new factorization theorems provide analogs to these…
We show that the partition function of the logarithmic sector of critical topologically massive gravity which represents a series expansion of composition of functions, can be expressed as a sum over rooted trees. Our work brings a…
We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…
Given a partition $\lambda$, we write $e_j(\lambda)$ for the $j^{\textrm{th}}$ elementary symmetric polynomial $e_j$ evaluated at the parts of $\lambda$ and $e_jp_A(n)$ for the sum of $e_j(\lambda)$ as $\lambda$ ranges over the set of…
In this paper, we study some typical arithmetic properties of Euler's totient function of polynomials over finite fields. Especially, we study polynomial analogues of some classical conjectures about Euler's totient function, such as…
