Rank and Crank Moments for Overpartitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study two types of crank moments and two types of rank moments for overpartitions. We show that the crank moments and their derivatives, along with certain linear combinations of the rank moments and their derivatives, can be written in terms of quasimodular forms. We then use this fact to prove exact relations involving the moments as well as congruence properties modulo 3, 5, and 7 for some combinatorial functions which may be expressed in terms of the second moments. Finally, we establish a congruence modulo 3 involving one such combinatorial function and the Hurwitz class number H(n).

The First Positive Rank and Crank Moments for Overpartitions
In 2003, Atkin and Garvan initiated the study of rank and crank moments for ordinary partitions. These moments satisfy a strict inequality. We prove that a strict inequality also holds for the first rank and crank moments of overpartitions and consider a new combinatorial interpretation in this setting.
متن کاملON THE NUMBER OF EVEN AND ODD STRINGS ALONG THE OVERPARTITIONS OF n
A partition of a non-negative integer n is a non-increasing sequence of positive integers whose sum is n. For example, The 5 partitions of 4 are 4, 3 + 1, 2 + 2, 2 + 1 + 1, and 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. To explain Ramanujan’s famous three partition congruences, the partition statistics, the rank (resp. the crank) were introduced by Dyson [8] (resp. Andrews and Garvan [3]). Atkin and Garvan [5] initiated t...
متن کاملAsymptotic Inequalities for Positive Crank and Rank Moments
Andrews, Chan, and Kim recently introduced a modified definition of crank and rank moments for integer partitions that allows the study of both even and odd moments. In this paper, we prove the asymptotic behavior of these moments in all cases. Our main result states that the two families of moment functions are asymptotically equal, but the crank moments are also asymptotically larger than the...
متن کاملAsymptotics for Rank and Crank Moments
Moments of the partition rank and crank statistics have been studied for their connections to combinatorial objects such as Durfee symbols, as well as for their connections to harmonic Maass forms. This paper proves a conjecture due to two of the authors that re ned a conjecture of Garvan. Garvan's original conjecture states that the moments of the crank function are always larger than the mome...
متن کاملInequalities Between Ranks and Cranks
Higher moments of the partition rank and crank statistics have been studied for their connections to combinatorial objects such as Durfee symbols, as well as for their connections to harmonic Maass forms. This paper proves the first several cases of (and strengthens) a conjecture due to Garvan, which states that the moments of the crank function are always larger than the moments of the crank f...
