. Let p ( n ) be the ordinary partition function. In the 1960s Atkin found a number of examples of congruences of the form p ( Q 3 ℓn + 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 − 24 β (mod ℓ ). In recent decades much work has been done to understand congruences of the form p ( Q m ℓn + β ) ≡ 0 (mod ℓ ). It is now known that there are many such congruences when m ≥ 4, that such congruences are scarce (if…

### 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),

Let p(n) denote the number of partitions of the positive integer n; p(n) is the number of representations of n as a non-increasing sequence of positive integers (by convention, we agree that p(0) = 1

### 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 (cid:2) ≥ 5 a prime, such that p ( An + B ) ≡ 0 (mod (cid:2) ) , n ∈ N . Then we will prove that (cid:2) | A and

### Modular Functions In Analytic Number Theory

Knopp's engaging book presents an introduction to modular functions in number theory by concentrating on two modular functions, $\eta(\tau)$ and $\vartheta(\tau)$, and their applications to two
