Let $A_{3}(n)$ (resp. ${{B}_{3}}(n)$) denote the number of partition pairs (resp. triples) of $n$ where each partition is 3-core. By applying Ramanujan's ${}_{1}ψ_{1}$ formula and Bailey's ${}_{6}ψ_{6}$ formula, we find the explicit formulas for $A_{3}(n)$ and $B_{3}(n)$. Using these formulas, we confirm a conjecture of Xia and establish many arithmetic identities satisfied by $A_{3}(n)$ and $B_{3}(n)$.
Let ${p}_{3,3}(n)$ denote the number of $2$-color partition triples of $n$ where one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of $3$. In this paper, we shall establish some interesting Ramanujan-type congruences for ${p}_{3,3}(n)$.
Is it possible to color the naturals with finitely many colors so that no Pythagorean triple is monochromatic? This question is even open for two colors. A natural strategy is to show that some small nonbipartite triple systems cannot be realized as a family of Pythagorean triples. It suffices to consider partial triple systems (PTS's), and it is therefore natural to consider the Fano plane, the smallest nonbipartite PTS. We show that the Pythagorean triples do not contain any Fano plane. In fact, our main result is that a much larger family of "ordered" triple systems (viz. those with a certa…
Let $\mathrm{pod}_{-3}(n)$ denote the number of partition triples of $n$ where the odd parts in each partition are distinct. We find many arithmetic properties of $\mathrm{pod}_{-3}(n)$ involving the following infinite family of congruences: for any integers $α\ge 1$ and $n\ge 0$, \[\mathrm{pod}_{-3}\Big({{3}^{2α+2}}n+\frac{23\times {{3}^{2α+1}}+3}{8}\Big)\equiv 0 \pmod{9}.\] We also establish some arithmetic relations between $\mathrm{pod}(n)$ and $\mathrm{pod}_{-3}(n)$, as well as some congruences for $\mathrm{pod}_{-3}(n)$ modulo 7 and 11.
Let ${{B}_{3}}(n)$ denote the number of partition triples of $n$ where each partition is 3-core. With the help of generating function manipulations, we find several infinite families of arithmetic identities and congruences for ${{B}_{3}}(n)$. Moreover, let $ω(n)$ denote the number of representations of a nonnegative integer $n$ in the form $x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+3y_{1}^{2}+3y_{2}^{2}+3y_{3}^{2}$ with ${{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}},{{x}_{3}},{{y}_{1}},{{y}_{2}},{{y}_{3}}\in \mathbb{Z}.$ We find three arithmetic relations between ${{B}_{3}}(n)$ and $ω(n)$, such as $ω(6n+5)=4{{B}_{3}}(6n+4).$
In this article we will derive a combinatorial formula for the partition function p(n). In the second part of the paper we will establish connection between partitions and q-binomial coefficients and give new interpretation for q-binomial coefficients.
Define a "nuclear partition" to be an integer partition with no part equal to one. In this study we prove a simple formula to compute the partition function $p(n)$ by counting only the nuclear partitions of $n$, a vanishingly small subset by comparison with all partitions of $n$ as $n\to \infty$. Variations on the proof yield other formulas for $p(n)$, as well as Ramanujan-like congruences and an application to parity of the partition function.
Let $A_{t,k}(n)$ denote the number of partition $k$-tuples of $n$ where each partition is $t$-core. In this paper, we establish formulas of $A_{t,k}(n)$ for some values of $t$ and $k$ by employing the method of modular forms, which extends Wang's result for $t=3$ and $k=2,3$.
We derive the asymptotic formula for $p_n(N,M)$, the number of partitions of integer $n$ with part size at most $N$ and length at most $M$. We consider both $N$ and $M$ are comparable to $\sqrt{n}$. This is an extension of the classical Hardy-Ramanujan formula and Szekeres' formula. The proof relies on the saddle point method.
Certain triples of power series, considered by I. Macdonald, give a natural framework for many combinatorial and number theoretic sequences, such as the Stirling, Bernoulli and harmonic numbers and partitions of different kinds. The power series in such a triple are closely linked by identities coming from the theory of symmetric functions. We extend the work of Z-H. Sun, who developed similar ideas, and Macdonald, revealing more of the structure of these triples. De Moivre polynomials play a key role in this study.
Since their introduction by Andrews, generalized Frobenius partitions have interested a number of authors, many of whom have worked out explicit formulas for their generating functions in specific cases. This has uncovered interesting combinatorial structure and led to proofs of a number of congruences. In this paper, we show how Andrews' generating functions can be cast in the framework of Eichler and Zagier's Jacobi forms. This reformulation allows us to compute explicit formulas for the generalized Frobenius partition generating functions (and in fact provides formulas for further functions…
We prove an exact formula for OEIS A000119, which counts partitions into distinct Fibonacci numbers. We also establish an exact formula for its mean value, and determine the asymptotic behaviour.
The partition function $p(n)$ has been a testing ground for applications of analytic number theory to combinatorics. In particular, Hardy and Ramanujan invented the "circle method" to estimate the size of $p(n)$, which was later perfected by Rademacher who obtained an exact formula. Recently, Chan and Wang considered the fractional partition functions, defined by $\sum_{n = 0}^\infty p_α(n)x^n := \prod_{k=1}^\infty (1-x^k)^{-α}$. In this paper we use the Rademacher circle method to find an exact formula for $p_α(n)$ and study its implications, including log-concavity and the higher-order gener…
The purpose of this short article is to announce, and briefly describe, a Maple package, PARTITIONS, that (inter alia) completely automatically discovers, and then proves, explicit expressions (as sums of quasi-polynomials) for pm(n) for any desired m. We do this to demonstrate the power of "rigorous guessing" as facilitated by the quasi-polynomial ansatz.
We obtain exact formulas for central values of triple product L-functions averaged over newforms of weight 2 and prime level. We apply these formulas to non-vanishing problems. This paper uses a period formula for the triple product L-function proved by Gross and Kudla.
A new recursive procedure for calculation of restricted partition function is suggested. An explicit formula for the restricted partition function is found based on this procedure.
We revisit a formula for the number of plane partitions due to Almkvist. Using the circle method, we provide modifications to his formula along with estimates of the errors. We show that the improved formula continues to be an asymptotic series. Nevertheless, an optimal truncation (i.e., superasymptotic) of the formula provides exact numbers of plane partitions for all positive integers n <6400 and numbers with estimated errors for larger values. For instance, the formula correctly reproduces 305 of the 316 digits of the numbers of plane partitions of 6999 as predicted by the estimated error. …
This note rederives a formula for $r$-color partitions, $1 \le r \le 24$, including Rademacher's celebrated result for ordinary partitions, from the duality between modular forms of weights $-r/2$ and $2+r/2$.
We establish explicit Ichino's formulae for the central values of the triple product $L$-functions with emphasis on the calculations for the real place. The key ingredient for our computations is Proposition 6.8 which generalizes a result of Michel-Venkatesh. As an application we prove the optimal upper bound of a sum of restricted $L^2$-norms of the $L^2$-normalized newforms on certain quadratic extensions with prime level and bounded spectral parameter following the methods of Blomer.
A Rademacher-type convergent series formula which generalizes the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula for the number of partitions of $n$ and the Zuckerman formula for the Fourier coefficients of $\vartheta_4(0\vert τ)^{-1}$ is presented.
It was shown in previous works that the measure associated to holomorphic newforms of weight $k$ and level $q$ will tend weakly to the Haar measure on modular curve of level 1, as $qk\rightarrow \infty$. In this paper we proved that this phenomenon is also true on modular curves of general level N.
In this paper, we investigate $π(m,n)$, the number of partitions of the \emph{bipartite number} $(m,n)$ into \emph{steadily decreasing} parts, introduced by L.Carlitz ['A problem in partitions', Duke Math Journal 30 (1963), 203--213]. We give a relation between $π(m,n)$ and the crank statistic $M(m,n)$ for integer partitions. Using this relation, some uniform asymptotic formulas for $π(m,n)$ are established.
The general formulas for finding the quantity of all primitive and nonprimitive triples generated by the given number x have been proposed. Also the formulas for finding the complete quantity of the representations of the integers as a difference of two squares have been obtained.
In 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan obtained the asymptotic formula for the classical partition function $p(n)$. The classical partition function $p(n)$ has been extensively studied. Recently, Luca and Ralaivaosaona obtained the asymptotic formula for the square-root function. Many mathematicians have paid much attention to congruences on some special colored partition functions. In this paper, we investigate the general colored partition functions. Given positive integers $1=s_1<s_2<\dots <s_k$ and $\ell_1, \ell_2,\dots , \ell_k$. Let $g(\mathbf{s}, \mathbf{l}, n)$ be the number of $\ell$-colored pa…
Explicit expressions for restricted partition function $W(s,{\bf d}^m)$ and its quasiperiodic components $W_j(s,{\bf d}^m)$ (called Sylvester waves) for a set of positive integers ${\bf d}^m = \{d_1, d_2, ..., d_m\}$ are derived. The formulas are represented in a form of a finite sum over Bernoulli polynomials of higher order with periodic coefficients.
Extended double shuffle relations for multiple zeta values are obtained by the fact that any product of regularized multiple zeta values has two different representations, and the case of two-fold product is considered in general. In this paper, we give two formulas for the generating function of the triple zeta values of any fixed weight by the use of the extended double shuffle relations obtained by not only two-fold products of double and single zeta values but also three-fold products of single zeta values. As applications of the formulas, we also obtain some parameterized, weighted and re…
Let $p_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into parts containing no multiples of $r$ or $s$, where $r>1$ and $s>1$ are square-free, relatively prime integers. We use classical methods to derive a Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher-type infinite series for $p_{r,s}(n)$.
Let $V_1,V_2,V_3$ be a triple of even dimensional vector spaces over a number field $F$ equipped with nondegenerate quadratic forms $\mathcal{Q}_1,\mathcal{Q}_2,\mathcal{Q}_3$, respectively. Let \begin{align*} Y \subset \prod_{i=1}V_i \end{align*} be the closed subscheme consisting of $(v_1,v_2,v_3)$ on which $\mathcal{Q}_1(v_1)=\mathcal{Q}_2(v_2)=\mathcal{Q}_3(v_3)$. Motivated by conjectures of Braverman and Kazhdan and related work of Lafforgue, Ngô, and Sakellaridis we prove an analogue of the Poisson summation formula for certain functions on this space.
