Mao's identities for Beck's partition statistics modulo 8

From papers

Let NT(r,m,n)NT(r,m,n) denote the total number of parts in partitions of nn whose rank is congruent to rr modulo mm, and let Mω(r,m,n)M_{\omega}(r,m,n) denote the total number of ones in partitions of nn whose crank is congruent to rr modulo mm. For n0n\geq 0, Mao's conjectured identities.

NT(2,8,4n)NT(6,8,4n)=Mω(1,4,4n)Mω(3,4,4n),NT(2,8,4n)-NT(6,8,4n)=M_{\omega}(1,4,4n)-M_{\omega}(3,4,4n), NT(6,8,4n+2)NT(2,8,4n+2)=Mω(1,4,4n+2)Mω(3,4,4n+2).NT(6,8,4n+2)-NT(2,8,4n+2)=M_{\omega}(1,4,4n+2)-M_{\omega}(3,4,4n+2).

These are the two remaining identities from five identities conjectured by Mao; the present paper proves them, completing the conjecture.
