Self-conjugate vector partitions and the parity of the spt-function

George E. Andrews, Frank G. Garvan, Jie Liang (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Let spt(n) denote the total number of appearances of the smallest parts in all the partitions of n. Recently, we found new combinatorial interpretations of congruences for the spt-function modulo 5 and 7. These interpretations were in terms of a restricted set of weighted vector partitions which we call S-partitions. We prove that the number of self-conjugate S-partitions, counted with a certain weight, is related to the coefficients of a certain mock theta function studied by the first author,...

Some congruences for 3-component multipartitions

Tao Yan Zhao, Lily J. Jin, C. Gu (2016)

Open Mathematics

Let p3(n) denote the number of 3-component multipartitions of n. Recently, using a 3-dissection formula for the generating function of p3(n), Baruah and Ojah proved that for n ≥ 0, p3(9n + 5) ≡ 0 (mod 33) and p3 (9n + 8) ≡ 0 (mod 34). In this paper, we prove several congruences modulo powers of 3 for p3(n) by using some theta function identities. For example, we prove that for n ≥ 0, p3 (243n + 233) ≡ p3 (729n + 638) ≡ 0 (mod 310).

Some new infinite families of congruences modulo 3 for overpartitions into odd parts

Ernest X. W. Xia (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let p ̅ o ( n ) denote the number of overpartitions of n in which only odd parts are used. Some congruences modulo 3 and powers of 2 for the function p ̅ o ( n ) have been derived by Hirschhorn and Sellers, and Lovejoy and Osburn. In this paper, employing 2-dissections of certain quotients of theta functions due to Ramanujan, we prove some new infinite families of Ramanujan-type congruences for p ̅ o ( n ) modulo 3. For example, we prove that for n, α ≥ 0, p ̅ o ( 4 α ( 24 n + 17 ) ) p ̅ o ( 4 α ( 24 n + 23 ) ) 0 ( m o d 3 ) .

Some problems in number theory that arise from group theory.

Alexander Moretó (2007)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this expository paper, we present several open problerns in number theory that have arisen while doing research in group theory. These problems are on arithmetical functions or partitions. Solving some of these problems would allow to solve some open problem in group theory.[Proceedings of the Primeras Jornadas de Teoría de Números (Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), 30 June - 2 July 2005)].

The spt-crank for overpartitions

Frank G. Garvan, Chris Jennings-Shaffer (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Bringmann, Lovejoy, and Osburn (2009, 2010) showed that the generating functions of the spt-overpartition functions s p t ¯ ( n ) , s p t ¯ 1 ( n ) , s p t ¯ 2 ( n ) , and M2spt(n) are quasimock theta functions, and satisfy a number of simple Ramanujan-like congruences. Andrews, Garvan, and Liang (2012) defined an spt-crank in terms of weighted vector partitions which combinatorially explain simple congruences modulo 5 and 7 for spt(n). Chen, Ji, and Zang (2013) were able to define this spt-crank in terms of ordinary partitions. In this...
