摘要:
In this paper, we study a certain partition function a(n) defined by Sigma(n >= 0) a(n) q(n) := Pi(n=1) (1 - q(n))(-1) (1 - q(2n))(-1). We prove that given a positive integer j >= 1 and a prime m >= 5, there are infinitely many congruences of the type a(An + B) 0 (mod m(j)). This work is inspired by Ono's ground breaking result in the study of the distribution of the partition function p(n).
