Congruences for Andrews’ Spt-function

چکیده
Congruences are found modulo powers of 5, 7 and 13 for Andrews’ smallest parts partition function spt(n). These congruences are reminiscent of Ramanujan’s partition congruences modulo powers of 5, 7 and 11. Recently, Ono proved explicit Ramanujan-type congruences for spt(n) modulo ` for all primes ` ≥ 5 which were conjectured earlier by the author. We extend Ono’s method to handle the powers of 5, 7 and 13 congruences. We need the theory of weak Maass forms as well as certain classical modular equations for the Dedekind eta-function.

Congruences for Andrews ’ Spt - Function modulo Powers of 5 , 7 and 13
Abstract. Congruences are found modulo powers of 5, 7 and 13 for Andrews’ smallest parts partition function spt(n). These congruences are reminiscent of Ramanujan’s partition congruences modulo powers of 5, 7 and 11. Recently, Ono proved explicit Ramanujan-type congruences for spt(n) modulo for all primes ≥ 5 which were conjectured earlier by the author. We extend Ono’s method to handle the pow...
متن کاملOn Spt-crank Type Functions
In a recent paper, Andrews, Dixit, and Yee introduced a new spt-type function spt ω (n), which is closely related to Ramanujan’s third order mock theta function ω(q). Garvan and Jennings-Shaffer introduce a crank function which explains congruences for spt ω (n). In this note, we study asymptotic behavior of this crank function and confirm a positivity conjecture of the crank asymptotically. We...
متن کاملCongruences for Andrews' spt-Function Modulo 32760 and Extension of Atkin's Hecke-Type Partition Congruences
New congruences are found for Andrews’ smallest parts partition function spt(n). The generating function for spt(n) is related to the holomorphic part α(24z) of a certain weak Maass form M(z) of weight 3 2 . We show that a normalized form of the generating function for spt(n) is an eigenform modulo 72 for the Hecke operators T (`2) for primes ` > 3, and an eigenform modulo p for p = 5, 7 or 13 ...
متن کاملCongruences for Andrews’ Smallest Parts Partition Function and New Congruences for Dyson’s Rank
Let spt(n) denote the total number of appearances of smallest parts in the partitions of n. Recently, Andrews showed how spt(n) is related to the second rank moment, and proved some surprising Ramanujan-type congruences mod 5, 7 and 13. We prove a generalization of these congruences using known relations between rank and crank moments. We obtain an explicit Ramanujan-type congruence for spt(n) ...
متن کاملCongruences for the Andrews spt function.
Ramanujan-type congruences for the Andrews spt(n) partition function have been found for prime moduli 5 ≤ ℓ ≤ 37 in the work of Andrews [Andrews GE, (2008) J Reine Angew Math 624:133-142] and Garvan [Garvan F, (2010) Int J Number Theory 6:1-29]. We exhibit unexpectedly simple congruences for all ℓ≥5. Confirming a conjecture of Garvan, we show that if ℓ≥5 is prime and (-δ/ℓ) = 1, then spt[(ℓ2(ℓn...
