Let $pod_{\ell}(n)$ be the number of $\ell$-regular partitions of $n$ with distinct odd parts. In this article, prove that for any positive integer $k$, the set of non-negative integers $n$ for which $pod_{\ell}(n)\equiv 0 \pmod{p^{k}}$ has…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the overpartition function. In this paper, we obtain an inequality for the sequence $\Delta^{2}\log \ \sqrt[n-1]{\overline{p}(n-1)/(n-1)^{\alpha}}$ which states that \begin{equation*} \log…

Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group of permutations acting on $n$ elements. We investigate the double sequence $\{N_{\ell}(n)\}$ counting the number of $\ell$ tuples of elements of the symmetric group $S_n$, where the components commute,…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. Desalvo and Pak proved the log-concavity of $p(n)$ for $n>25$ and the inequality $\frac{p(n-1)}{p(n)}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)>\frac{p(n)}{p(n+1)}$ for $n>1$. Let $r(n)=\sqrt[n]{p(n)/n}$ and…

We study the asymptotic distribution of the number of matchings of size $\ell=\ell(n)$ in $G(n,p)$ for a wide range of $p=p(n)\in (0,1)$ and for every $1\le \ell\le \lfloor n/2\rfloor$. We prove that this distribution changes from normal to…

Andrews' $(k, i)$-singular overpartition function $\overline{C}_{k, i}(n)$ counts the number of overpartitions of $n$ in which no part is divisible by $k$ and only parts $\equiv \pm i\pmod{k}$ may be overlined. In recent times, divisibility…

We expand on the remark by Andrews on the importance of infinite sums and products in combinatorics. Let $\{g_d(n)\}_{d\geq 0,n \geq 1}$ be the double sequences $\sigma_d(n)= \sum_{\ell \mid n} \ell^d$ or $\psi_d(n)= n^d$. We associate…

Let $\ell \geq 5$ be prime. For the partition function $p(n)$ and $5 \leq \ell \leq 31$, Atkin found a number of examples of primes $Q \geq 5$ such that there exist congruences of the form $p(\ell Q^{3} n+\beta) \equiv 0 \pmod{\ell}.$…

Let $f \in S_{k}(\Gamma_{0}(N))$ be a normalized Hecke eigenform. We study the Fourier coefficients $\lambda_{f \otimes \cdots \otimes_{\ell} f}(n)$ of the $\ell$-fold product $L$-function for odd $\ell \ge 3$. Our focus is the distribution…

We consider the following Lane-Emden system with Neumann boundary conditions \[ -\Delta u= |v|^{q-1}v \text{ in } \Omega,\qquad -\Delta v= |u|^{p-1}u \text{ in } \Omega,\qquad \partial_\nu u=\partial_\nu v=0 \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \]…

For any $n > 0$ and $0 \leq m < n$, let $P_{n,m}$ be the poset of projective equivalence classes of $\{-,0,+\}$-vectors of length $n$ with sign variation bounded by $m$, ordered by reverse inclusion of the positions of zeros. Let…

Let $\mathcal{A}=(a_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ be a non-decreasing sequence of positive integers and let $k\in\mathbb{N}_+$ be fixed. The function $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ counts the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in the multiset…

If a probability density p(\x) (\x\in\R^k) is bounded and R(t) := \int \exp(t\ell(\x)) \d\x < \infty for some linear functional \ell and all t\in(0,1), then, for each t\in(0,1) and all large enough n, the n-fold convolution of the t-tilted…

Let $T_\ell(n)$ denote the number of $\ell-$regular partition triples of $n$ and let $p_{\ell, 3}(n)$ enumerates the number of 2--color partition triples of $n$ where one of the colors appear only in parts that are multiples of $\ell$. In…

The signs of Fourier coefficients of certain eta quotients are determined by dissecting expansions for theta functions and by applying a general dissection formula for certain classes of quintuple products. A characterization is given for…

In the $1970$s Nicolas proved that the coefficients $p_d(n)$ defined by the generating function \begin{equation*} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} p_d(n) \, q^n = \prod_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( 1- q^n\right)^{-n^{d-1}} \end{equation*} are log-concave for…

Let $\pi$ be a permutation of $[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$ and denote by $\ell(\pi)$ the length of a longest increasing subsequence of $\pi$. Let $\ell_{n,k}$ be the number of permutations $\pi$ of $[n]$ with $\ell(\pi)=k$. Chen conjectured that the…

Let $p_{-t}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ into $t$ colors. In analogy with Ramanujan's work on the partition function, Lin recently proved in \cite{Lin} that $p_{-3}(11n+7)\equiv0\pmod{11}$ for every integer $n$. Such…

We consider the problem of stochastic convex optimization with exp-concave losses using Empirical Risk Minimization in a convex class. Answering a question raised in several prior works, we provide a $O( d / n + \log( 1 / \delta) / n )$…

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve, let $P\in E(\mathbb Q)$ be non-torsion, and let $(D_n)$ be the associated elliptic divisibility sequence. We study when a product \[ \prod_{i=1}^k D_{n_i} \] can be a $\rho$-th power, where $\rho$ is…
