Main parity conjecture for eta-quotients
Let
be an eta-quotient, shifted by a suitable power of so that its powers are integral. Let denote the odd density of its coefficients. For a nonnegative integer-valued polynomial of positive degree, consider the sequence .
Main parity conjecture for eta-quotients. The following assertions hold: (i) for every , exists and satisfies ; (ii) if , then has odd density for every such polynomial , in particular on every arithmetic progression; (iii) if , then the coefficients of vanish modulo identically on some arithmetic progression; and (iv) if the coefficients do not vanish modulo identically on any arithmetic progression, then they have odd density on every arithmetic progression, and hence .
This is presented as a broad organizing conjecture for parity phenomena of eta-quotients, encompassing the alternatives between density and identically even arithmetic progressions. The source presents it as an open conjecture and notes that (i)--(iii) imply (iv), while (iv) implies (iii).
