Judge–Keith–Zanello multipartition-density conjecture

Let pt(n)p_t(n) be the tt-multipartition function, and, when the limit exists, define the density of its odd values by

δt=limx#{nx:pt(n) is odd}x.\delta_t=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\#\{n\leq x:p_t(n)\text{ is odd}\}}{x}.

Judge–Keith–Zanello conjecture. The density δt\delta_t exists and equals 1/21/2 for every positive odd integer tt. Equivalently, if t=2kt0t=2^k t_0 with t01t_0\geq1 odd, then δt\delta_t exists and equals 2k12^{-k-1}.

It generalizes the Parkin–Shanks conjecture from the partition function to all multipartition functions. At present, existence of any of these densities is not known in general, so the conjecture remains open.
