Let p(n) be the ordinary partition function. In the 1960s Atkin found a number of examples of congruences of the form p(Qln+ β) ≡ 0 (mod l) where l and Q are prime and 5 ≤ l ≤ 31; these lie in two natural families distinguished by the square class of 1− 24β (mod l). In recent decades much work has been done to understand congruences of the form p(Qmln + β) ≡ 0 (mod l). It is now known that there are many such congruences when m ≥ 4, that such congruences are scarce (if they exist at all) when m…

Congruence relations for r-colored partitions
Let l ≥ 5 be prime. For the partition function p(n) and 5 ≤ l ≤ 31, Atkin found a number of examples of primes Q ≥ 5 such that there exist congruences of the form p(lQn + β) ≡ 0 (mod l). Recently,

The arithmetic properties of the ordinary partition function $p(n)$ have been the topic of intensive study for the past century.

Ramanujan [1] conjectured in 1919 that if q = 5, 7, or 11, and 24m ≡ 1 (mod qn), then p(m) ≡ 0 (mod qn). He proved his Distribution of the partition function modulo m and he conjectured further such congruences modulo arbitrary powers of 5, 7, and 11. Although the work of A. O. L. Atkin and G. N.

New Congruences for the Partition Function
AbstractLet p(n) denote the number of unrestricted partitions of a non-negative integer n. In 1919, Ramanujan proved that for every non-negative n \begin{gathered} p(5 + 4) \equiv 0(\bmod 5),

It is reported that such congruences are much more widespread than was previously known, and the theoretical framework that appears to explain every known Ramanujan-type congruence is described.
Proof of a conjecture by Ahlgren and Ono on the non-existence of certain partition congruences
Let p(n) denote the number of partitions of n. Let A,B ∈ N with A > B and ≥ 5 a prime, such that p(An+B) ≡ 0 (mod ), n ∈ N. Then we will prove that |A and ( 24B−1 ) = (−1 ) . This settles an open
