The Ramanujan–Kolberg identity conjecture for multipartitions

From papers

Let pt(n)p_t(n) denote the number of tt-multipartitions of nn. Let aa and tt be odd integers, with 3t3\mid t whenever 3a3\mid a. Define bb by

bt381b\equiv \frac{t}{3}\cdot 8^{-1}

when 3t3\mid t, and by b241(moda)b\equiv24^{-1}\pmod a otherwise, and set

k=t(a21)24a.k=\left\lceil\frac{t(a^2-1)}{24a}\right\rceil.

Here fdf_d denotes the standard eta-product factor used in the source, and ϵa,d,jt\epsilon^t_{a,d,j} are coefficients in {0,1}\{0,1\}. Ramanujan–Kolberg identity conjecture. There is a suitable choice of the ϵa,d,jt\epsilon^t_{a,d,j} such that ϵa,1,0t=1\epsilon^t_{a,1,0}=1, ϵa,d,jt=0\epsilon^t_{a,d,j}=0 whenever at/d24j<0at/d-24j<0, and

qkn=0pt(an+b)qndaj=0k/dϵa,d,jtqdjfdat/d24j.q^k\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}p_t(an+b)q^n\equiv\sum_{d\mid a}\sum_{j=0}^{\lfloor k/d\rfloor}\frac{\epsilon^t_{a,d,j}q^{dj}}{f_d^{at/d-24j}}.

The conjecture predicts that these subprogression generating functions lie in a particularly structured, relatively low-dimensional space of modular forms. The supplied text says Chen proved it for, among other cases, all primes a3a\geq3, so the general conjecture remains open.
