In 1997, Bousquet-M\'elou and Eriksson stated a broad generalization of Euler's distinct-odd partition theorem, namely the $(k,l)$-Euler theorem. Their identity involved the $(k,l)$-lecture-hall partitions, which, unlike usual difference…

Following Cayley, MacMahon, and Sylvester, define a non-unitary partition to be an integer partition with no part equal to one, and let $\nu(n)$ denote the number of non-unitary partitions of size $n$. In a 2021 paper, the sixth author…

We study bipartite entanglement in systems of N identical bosons distributed in M different modes. For such systems, a definition of separability not related to any a priori Hilbert space tensor product structure is needed and can be given…

The famous partition theorem of Euler states that partitions of $n$ into distinct parts are equinumerous with partitions of $n$ into odd parts. Another famous partition theorem due to MacMahon states that the number of partitions of $n$…

Let \(\mathcal{P}(n)\) be the set of partitions of the positive integer \(n\). For \(\alpha=(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_t) \in \mathcal{P}(n)\) define the diagonal sequence \(\delta(\alpha)=(d_k(\alpha))_{k \geq 1}\) via \( d_k(\alpha) =…

Suppose $P_n=\{1,2,...,n\}$ is a partially ordered set with the partial order defined by divisibility, that is, for any two distinct elements $i,j\in P_n$ satisfying $i$ divides $j$, $i<_{P_n} j$. A table $A_n=\{a_i|i=1,2,...,n\}$ of…

In this paper, we are mainly concerned with the enumeration of $(2k+1, 2k+3)$-core partitions with distinct parts. We derive the number and the largest size of such partitions, confirming two conjectures posed by Straub.

For rational $\alpha$, the fractional partition functions $p_\alpha(n)$ are given by the coefficients of the generating function $(q;q)^\alpha_\infty$. When $\alpha=-1$, one obtains the usual partition function. Congruences of the form…

We classify the subsets of a group by their sizes, formalize the basic methods of partitions and apply them to partition a group to subsets of prescribed sizes.

A classic theorem of Uchimura states that the difference between the sum of the smallest parts of the partitions of $n$ into an odd number of distinct parts and the corresponding sum for an even number of distinct parts is equal to the…

For a finite set $X$, we say that a set $H\subseteq X$ crosses a partition ${\cal P}=(X_1,\dots,X_k)$ of $X$ if $H$ intersects $\min (|H|,k)$ partition classes. If $|H|\geq k$, this means that $H$ meets all classes $X_i$, whilst for…

The combinatorial properties of partitions with various restrictions on their hooksets are explored. A connection with numerical semigroups extends current results on simultaneous s/t-cores. Conditions that suffice for a partition to…

Let $A_{t,k}(n)$ denote the number of partition $k$-tuples of $n$ where each partition is $t$-core. In this paper, we establish formulas of $A_{t,k}(n)$ for some values of $t$ and $k$ by employing the method of modular forms, which extends…

Suppose $\Pi$ is an exchangeable random partition of the positive integers and $\Pi_n$ is its restriction to $\{1, ..., n\}$. Let $K_n$ denote the number of blocks of $\Pi_n$, and let $K_{n,r}$ denote the number of blocks of $\Pi_n$…

Given a finite set of points $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a $k$-set of $S$ is a subset $A \subset S$ of size $k$ which can be strictly separated from $S \setminus A $ by a hyperplane. Similarly, a $k$-facet of a point set $S$ in general position…

Let $P$ be a partially ordered set. We prove that if $n$ is sufficiently large, then there exists a packing $\mathcal{P}$ of copies of $P$ in the Boolean lattice $(2^{[n]},\subset)$ that covers almost every element of $2^{[n]}$:…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. In this article, we will show that congruences of the form $$ p(m^j\ell^kn+B)\equiv 0\mod m \text{for all} n\ge 0 $$ exist for all primes $m$ and $\ell$ satisfying $m\ge 13$ and $\ell\neq 2,3,m$.…

For a fixed integer $k$, we consider the set of noncrossing partitions, where both the block sizes and the difference between adjacent elements in a block is $1\bmod k$. We show that these $k$-indivisible noncrossing partitions can be…

A partition is finitary if all its members are finite. For a set $A$, $\mathscr{B}(A)$ denotes the set of all finitary partitions of $A$. It is shown consistent with $\mathsf{ZF}$ (without the axiom of choice) that there exist an infinite…

Recently, Andrews and EI Bachraoui discovered several companions for some famous $q$-series formulas, and derived some new identities involving partitions and overpartitions with distinct parts. In this paper, we shall refine their results…
