The main result of the paper is the existence of an infinitely many families of Ramanujan-type congruences for $b_4(n)$ and $b_6(n)$ modulo primes $m \geq 2$ and $m \geq 5$, respectively. We provide new examples of congruences for $b_4(n)$…
In this article, we study necessary conditions for certain square-free integers to be congruent numbers. Our method uses divisibility properties of class numbers of related imaginary quadratic fields. We first consider positive square-free…
For fixed $m$ and $R\subseteq \{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$, take $A$ to be the set of positive integers congruent modulo $m$ to one of the elements of $R$, and let $p_A(n)$ be the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of elements of $A$. Nathanson…
We study frequency moments of partition statistics arising from Euler products $A(q)=\prod_{r\ge1}(1-q^r)^{-c(r)}$ via a transform that expresses the moment generating functions as $B(q)$ times explicit divisor--sum series determined by…
Let $p_k(n)$ denote the number of $2$-color partitions of $n$ where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of $k$. We will prove a conjecture of Ahmed, Baruah, and Dastidar on congruences modulo $5$ for $p_k(n)$.…
Let $m$ be a positive integer and $b_{m}(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts being powers of 2, where each part can take $m$ colors. We show that if $m=2^{k}-1$, then there exists the natural density of integers $n$ such that…
In this paper, we study partitions of totally positive integral elements $\alpha$ in a real quadratic field $K$. We prove that for a fixed integer $m \geq 1$, an element with $m$ partition exists in almost all $K$. We also obtain an upper…
In this paper, we compare $(n,m)$-purities for different pairs of positive integers $(n,m)$. When $R$ is a commutative ring, these purities are not equivalent if $R$ doesn't satisfy the following property: there exists a positive integer…
For a fixed positive integer $k$, let $C(k,n)$ denote the number of two-color partitions of $n$ with odd smallest part and restrictions on even parts, and let $C_k(q)$ be its generating function. We show that $C(1,n)\equiv d(2n-1)\pmod{4}$…
Let A={a_s+n_sZ}_{s=1}^k be a finite system of arithmetic sequences which forms an m-cover of Z (i.e., every integer belongs at least to m members of A). In this paper we show the following sharp result: For any positive integers…
If $\gcd(r,t)=1$, then a theorem of Alladi offers the M\"obius sum identity $$-\sum_{\substack{ n \geq 2 \\ p_{\rm{min}}(n) \equiv r \pmod{t}}} \mu(n)n^{-1}= \frac{1}{\varphi(t)}. $$ Here $p_{\rm{min}}(n)$ is the smallest prime divisor of…
Almost nothing is known about the parity of the partition function $p(n)$, which is conjectured to be random. Despite this expectation, Ono surprisingly proved the existence of infinitely many linear dependence congruence relations modulo 4…
For integers $0 < r \leq t$, let the function $D_{r,t}(n)$ denote the number of parts among all partitions of $n$ into distinct parts that are congruent to $r$ modulo $t$. We prove the asymptotic formula $$D_{r,t}(n) \sim \dfrac{3^{\frac…
Recently, Hirschhorn and the first author considered the parity of the function $a(n)$ which counts the number of integer partitions of $n$ wherein each part appears with odd multiplicity. They derived an effective characterization of the…
Let m_1,...,m_s be positive integers. Consider the sequence defined by multinomial coefficients: a_n=\binom{(m_1+m_2+... +m_s)n}{m_1 n, m_2 n,..., m_s n}. Fix a positive integer k\ge 2. We show that there exists a positive integer C(k) such…
Let $S$ be a finite set of positive integers with largest element $m$. Let us randomly select a composition $a$ of the integer $n$ with parts in $S$, and let $m(a)$ be the multiplicity of $m$ as a part of $a$. Let $0\leq r<q$ be integers,…
J.P. Serre showed that for any integer $m,~a(n)\equiv 0 \pmod m$ for almost all $n,$ where $a(n)$ is the $n^{\text{th}}$ Fourier coefficient of any modular form with rational coefficients. In this article, we consider a certain class of…
Let A={a_s(mod n_s)}_{s=0}^k be a system of residue classes. With the help of cyclotomic fields we obtain a theorem which unifies several previously known results concerning system A. In particular, we show that if every integer lies in…
