No Ties conjecture for residue-class biases in indivisible partitions

From papers

Let k,t2k,t\geq 2 be coprime, and let k,t\prec_{k,t} be the ordering on Z/tZ\mathbb{Z}/t\mathbb{Z} defined by the eventual comparison of the quantities Dk×(r,t;n)D_k^\times(r,t;n): namely, rk,tsr\prec_{k,t}s when Dk×(r,t;n)<Dk×(s,t;n)D_k^\times(r,t;n)<D_k^\times(s,t;n) for sufficiently large nn. No Ties conjecture. The ordering k,t\prec_{k,t} is a total ordering on Z/tZ\mathbb{Z}/t\mathbb{Z}. This conjecture is solved in the current paper by the theorem proving that the relevant bias parameters are distinct for distinct residue classes.
