Infinitely many Ramanujan-type congruences for 3- and 5-regular partitions

About 4 years old · traced to

Let bk(n)b_k(n) denote the number of kk-regular partitions of nn, where k∈{3,5}k\in\{3,5\}, and let mm be a positive integer. A Ramanujan-type congruence is a congruence of the form

bk(An+B)≡0(modm)b_k(An+B)\equiv 0\pmod m

for suitable integers AA and BB. The 3- and 5-regular partition congruence conjecture. For k∈{3,5}k\in\{3,5\} and every positive integer mm, there are infinitely many Ramanujan-type congruences modulo mm.

The paper proves this assertion when mm is prime and m≥5m\geq 5; the conjecture extends the existence of infinitely many such congruences to every positive integer modulus.
