Let A and M be nonempty sets of positive integers. A partition of the positive integer n with parts in A and multiplicities in M is a representation of n in the form n = \sum_{a\in A} m_a a, where m_a is in M U {0} for all a in A, and m_a…

There is the same number of $n \times n$ alternating sign matrices (ASMs) as there is of descending plane partitions (DPPs) with parts no greater than $n$, but finding an explicit bijection is an open problem for about $40$ years now. So…

Recently, Andrews, Bhattacharjee and Dastidar introduced the concept of $k$-measure of an integer partition, and proved a surprising identity that the number of partitions of $n$ which have $2$-measure $m$ is equal to the number of…

In this paper, we give a conjecture, which generalises Euler's partition theorem involving odd parts and different parts for all moduli. We prove this conjecture for two family partitions. We give $q$-difference equations for the related…

In the study of theta series and partition functions, Andrews and Merca, Guo and Zeng independently conjectured that a truncated Jacobi triple product series has nonnegative coefficients. This conjecture was proved analytically by Mao and…

Recently, Merca and Yee proved some partition identities involving two new partition statistics. We refine these statistics and generalize the results of Merca and Yee. We also correct a small mistake in a result of Merca and Yee.

In this Ph.D dissertation (University of Virginia, 2022), we prove results about the coefficients of partition-theoretic generating functions and of coefficients of integer weight modular forms. Using various forms of the circle method, we…

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…

We consider two multiplicative statistics on the set of integer partitions: the norm of a partition, which is the product of its parts, and the supernorm of a partition, which is the product of the prime numbers $p_i$ indexed by its parts…

In order to provide a unified combinatorial interpretation of congruences modulo $5$ for 2-colored partition functions, Garvan introduced a bicrank statistic in terms of weighted vector partitions. In this paper, we obtain some inequalities…

Recently, Andrews defined a partition function $\mathcal{EO}(n)$ which counts the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part. He also defined a partition function $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$ which…

If $ p_k(a,m,n) $ denotes the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$th powers with a number of parts that is congruent to $ a $ modulo $m,$ then $p_2(0,2,n)\sim p_2(1,2,n)$ and the sign of the difference $p_2(0,2,n)- p_k(1,2,n)$ alternates…

For a partition $\lambda \vdash n$, we let $\operatorname{pd}(\lambda)$, the parity difference of $\lambda$, be the number of odd parts of $\lambda$ minus the number of even parts of $\lambda$. We prove for $c_0\in\mathbb{R}$ an asymptotic…

In recent work, Amdeberhan and Merca considered the integer partition function $a(n)$ which counts the number of integer partitions of weight $n$ wherein even parts come in only one color (i.e., they are monochromatic), while the odd parts…

For any relatively prime integers $r$ and $s$, let $a_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of $(r,s)$-regular partitions of a positive integer of $n$ into distinct parts. Prasad and Prasad (2018) proved many infinite families of congruences modulo 2…

We introduce a finite-bound extension of a partition equinumerosity result which was orignally proposed as a problem by Andrews and Deutsch in 2016, and given a generalized form in 2018 by Smoot and Yang. We also give a simple bijective…

In his recent work, Andrews revisited two-color partitions with certain restrictions on the differences between consecutive parts, and he established three theorems linking these two-color partitions with more familiar kinds of partitions.…

We study certain bijection between plane partitions and $\mathbb{N}$-matrices. As applications, we prove a Cauchy-type identity for generalized dual Grothendieck polynomials. We introduce two statistics on plane partitions, whose generating…

In a recent work, Andrews gave analytic proofs of two conjectures concerning some variations of two combinatorial identities between partitions of a positive integer into odd parts and partitions into distinct parts discovered by Beck.…

One of the most basic results concerning the number-theoretic properties of the partition function $p(n)$ is that $p(n)$ takes each value of parity infinitely often. This statement was first proved by Kolberg in 1959, and it was…
