Mao's rank and -rank inequalities modulo 6 and 10
Mao's rank and -rank inequalities modulo 6 and 10
Let denote the number of partitions of whose Dyson rank is congruent to modulo . For partitions with no repeated odd parts, define the rank of a partition by
and let denote the number of such partitions whose rank is congruent to modulo . The inequalities below are asserted for the indicated ranges of : in the second, third, and seventh inequalities , and in the others .
Mao's conjectured inequalities. Computation evidence suggests that
The paper proves only a limited version of one of Mao's inequalities. The source states that the remaining three conjectures after other work are still open, so the full displayed collection is recorded as open.
