For each integer r we define the sequence pr(n) by We note that p-1(n) = p(n), the ordinary partition function. On account of this some authors set r = — k to make positive values of k correspond to positive powers of the generating function for p(n): We follow this convention here. In [3], Atkin proved the following theorem.

Denote bythe Euler product, and bythe partition generating function. More generally, if k is any integer, putso that p(n) = p−1(n). In [3], Atkin proved the following theorem.

Let12Thus p-1(n) = p(n) is just the partition function, for which Ramanujan (4) found congruence properties modulo powers of 5, 7, and 11. Ramanathan (3) considers the generalization of these congruences modulo powers of 5 and 7 for all ; unfortunately his results are incorrect, because of an error in his Lemma 4 on which his main theorems depend. This error is essentially a misquotation of the results of Watson (5), which one may readily understand in view of Watson's formidable notation.

We consider a class of generating functions analogous to the generating function of the partition function and establish a bound on the primes ℓ for which their coefficients c(n) obey congruences of the form c(ℓn + a) ≡ 0 ( mod ℓ). We apply this result to obtain a complete characterization of the congruences of the same form that the sequences cN(n) satisfy, where cN(n) is defined by [Formula: see text]. This last result answers a question of H.-C. Chan.

(1) This is a subject to which very little study has been directed. The first to enunciate any proposition regarding it was Jacobi; but the solitary result which he reached received no attention from mathematicians,—certainly no fruitful attention,—during seventy years following the publication of it.Jacobi was concerned with a problem regarding the partition of a fraction with composite denominator (u1 − t1) (u2 − t2) … into other fractions whose denominators are factors of the original, where u1, u2, … are linear homogeneous functions of one and the same set of variables. The specific character of the partition was only definable by viewing the given fraction (u1−t1)−1 (u2−t2)−1…as expanded in series form, it being required that each partial fraction should be the aggregate of a certain set of terms in this series. Of course the question of the order of the terms in each factor of the original denominator had to be attended to at the outset, since the expansion for (a1x+b1y+c1z−t)−1 is not the same as for (b1y+c1z+a1x−t)−1. Now one general proposition to which Jacobi was led in the course of this investigation was that the coefficient ofx1−1x2−1x3−1…in the expansion ofy1−1u2−1u3−1…, whereis |a1b2c3…|−1, provided that in energy case the first term of uris that containing xr.

AbstractGiven a sequence of polynomials$\{x_k(q)\}_{k \ges 0}$, define the transformation$$y_n(q) = a^n\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\left( \matrix{n \cr i} \right)} b^{n-i}x_i(q)$$for$n\ges 0$. In this paper, we obtain the relation between the Jacobi continued fraction of the ordinary generating function ofyn(q) and that ofxn(q). We also prove that the transformation preservesq-TPr+1(q-TP) property of the Hankel matrix$[x_{i+j}(q)]_{i,j \ges 0}$, in particular forr= 2,3, implying ther-q-log-convexity of the sequence$\{y_n(q)\}_{n\ges 0}$. As applications, we can give the continued fraction expressions of Eulerian polynomials of typesAandB, derangement polynomials typesAandB, general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. In addition, we also prove the strongq-log-convexity of derangement polynomials typeB, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials and 3-q-log-convexity of general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. We also present a new proof of the result of Pólya and Szegö about the binomial convolution preserving the Stieltjes moment property and a new proof of the result of Zhu and Sun on the binomial transformation preserving strongq-log-convexity.

If n is a non-negative integer, define pr(n) as the coefficient of xn in;otherwise define pr(n) as 0. In a recent paper (2) the author established the following congruence:Let r = 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 26. Let p be a prime greater than 3 such that r(p + l) / 24 is an integer, and set Δ = r(p2 − l)/24.

AbstractLet pw(n) be the weighted partition function defined by the generating function , where w(m) is a non-negative arithmetic function. Let be the summatory functions for pw(n) and w(n), respectively. Generalizing results of G. A. Freiman and E. E. Kohlbecker, we show that, for a large class of functions Φ(u) and λ(u), an estimate for Pw(u) of the formlog Pw(u) = Φ(u){1 + Ou(1/λ(u))} (u→∞) implies an estimate forNw(u) of the formNw(u) = Φ*(u){1+O(1/ log ƛ(u))} (u→∞) with a suitable function Φ*(u) defined in terms of Φ(u). We apply this result and related results to obtain characterizations of the Riemann Hypothesis and the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis in terms of the asymptotic behavior of certain weighted partition functions.

§ 1. The preceding Note has shown the connection between the partition of a convex polygon by non-crossing diagonals and the insertion of brackets in a product, the latter being more commonly represented by the construction of a tree. It was shown that the enumeration of these entities leads to a generating function y = f(x) which satisfies an algebraic equation of the typeIn simple cases, the solution of the equation was found as a power series in x, the coefficient An of xn giving the required number of partitions of an (n + 1)-gon.

We study (p, q) 5-brane webs dual to certain N M5-brane configurations and show that the partition function of these brane webs gives rise to cylindric Schur process with period N. This generalizes the previously studied case of period 1. We also show that open string amplitudes corresponding to these brane webs are captured by the generating function of cylindric plane partitions with profile determined by the boundary conditions imposed on the open string amplitudes.
