Quadratic forms and four partition functions modulo 3

Number Theory 2021-02-03 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

Recently, Andrews, Hirschhorn and Sellers have proven congruences modulo 3 for four types of partitions using elementary series manipulations. In this paper, we generalize their congruences using arithmetic properties of certain quadratic forms.
