ArXiv.org · 2025-10-23
preprintOpen accessSenior authorWe prove an infinite family of Hecke-like congruences for the overpartition function modulo powers of 2. Starting from a recent identity of Garvan and Morrow and iterating Atkin's $U_2$ operator, we determine lower bounds on the 2-adic valuations of the coefficients that arise at each step. Our approach yields new modular equations relating the Hauptmoduln $G_2$ on $Γ_0(2)$ and $G_8$ on $Γ_0(8)$, together with explicit $U_2$-action formulas.
A simple proof of the Atkin-O'Brien partition congruence conjecture for powers of 13
ArXiv.org · 2025-04-15
preprintOpen access1st authorCorrespondingIn 1967, Atkin and O'Brien conjectured congruences for the partition function involving Hecke operators modulo powers of 13. In this paper, we provide a simple proof of this conjecture.
ArXiv.org · 2025-05-02
preprintOpen access1st authorCorrespondingWe prove multiplicative congruences mod $2^{12}$ for George Andrews's partition function, $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part and only the largest even part occurs an odd number of times. We find analogous congruences for more general infinite products. These congruences are obtained using Fricke involutions and Newman's approach to half integer weight Hecke operators on eta quotients, and were inspired by Atkin's multiplicative congruences for the partition function.
Combinatorial Interpretations of Cranks of Overpartitions and Partitions without Repeated Odd Parts
arXiv (Cornell University) · 2024-06-17
preprintOpen access1st authorCorrespondingWe give combinatorial interpretations of two residual cranks of overpartitions defined by Bringmann, Lovejoy and Osburn in 2009 analogous to the crank of partitions given by Andrews and the first author in 1988. As a consequence, we give new versions of their definitions without adjusted weights. Furthermore, we investigate the combinatorial interpretation of an $M_2$-crank of partitions without repeated odd parts and explore connections of these statistics with their companion rank counterparts and the tenth order mock theta functions of Ramanujan.
