We study a curious class of partitions, the parts of which obey an exceedingly strict congruence condition we refer to as sequential congruence: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to zero modulo the length of the partition. It turns out these obscure-seeming objects are embedded in a natural way in partition theory. We show that sequentially congruent partitions with largest part $n$ are in bijection with the partitions of $n$. Moreover, we show sequentially congruent partitions induce a bijection between partitions of $n$ and partitions of length $n$ whose parts obey a strict frequency congruence condition -- the frequency (or multiplicity) of each part is divisible by that part -- and prove families of similar bijections, connecting with G. E. Andrewss theory of partition ideals.

In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called sequentially congruent partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to zero modulo the number of parts. Let $p_{mathcal S}(n)$ be the number of sequentially congruent partitions of $n,$ and let $p_{square}(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ wherein all parts are squares. In this note we prove bijectively, for all $ngeq 1,$ that $p_{mathcal S}(n) = p_{square}(n).$ Our proof naturally extends to show other exotic classes of partitions of $n$ are in bijection with certain partitions of $n$ into $k$th powers.
Integer partitions express the different ways that a positive integer may be written as a sum of other positive integers. Here we explore the analytic properties of a polynomial $f_lambda(x)$ that we call the partition polynomial for the partition $lambda$, with the hope of learning new properties of partitions. We prove a recursive formula for the derivatives of $f_lambda(x)$ involving Stirling numbers of the second kind, show that the set of integrals from 0 to 1 of a normalized version of $f_lambda(x)$ is dense in $[0,1/2]$, pose a few open questions, and formulate a conjecture relating the integral to the length of the partition. We also provide specific examples throughout to support our speculation that an in-depth analysis of partition polynomials could further strengthen our understanding of partitions.
Let $kappa$ be a positive real number and $minmathbb{N}cup{infty}$ be given. Let $p_{kappa, m}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ into the parts from the Piatestki-Shapiro sequence $(lfloor ell^{kappa}rfloor)_{ellin mathbb{N}}$ with at most $m$ times (repetition allowed). In this paper we establish asymptotic formulas of Hardy-Ramanujan type for $p_{kappa, m}(n)$, by employing a framework of asymptotics of partitions established by Roth-Szekeres in 1953, as well as some results on equidistribution.
Partitions, the partition function $p(n)$, and the hook lengths of their Ferrers-Young diagrams are important objects in combinatorics, number theory and representation theory. For positive integers $n$ and $t$, we study $p_t^e(n)$ (resp. $p_t^o(n)$), the number of partitions of $n$ with an even (resp. odd) number of $t$-hooks. We study the limiting behavior of the ratio $p_t^e(n)/p(n)$, which also gives $p_t^o(n)/p(n)$ since $p_t^e(n) + p_t^0(n) = p(n)$. For even $t$, we show that $$limlimits_{n to infty} dfrac{p_t^e(n)}{p(n)} = dfrac{1}{2},$$ and for odd $t$ we establish the non-uniform distribution $$limlimits_{n to infty} dfrac{p^e_t(n)}{p(n)} = begin{cases} dfrac{1}{2} + dfrac{1}{2^{(t+1)/2}} & text{if } 2 mid n, dfrac{1}{2} - dfrac{1}{2^{(t+1)/2}} & text{otherwise.} end{cases}$$ Using the Rademacher circle method, we find an exact formula for $p_t^e(n)$ and $p_t^o(n)$, and this exact formula yields these distribution properties for large $n$. We also show that for sufficiently large $n$, the signs of $p_t^e(n) - p_t^o(n)$ are periodic.
Families of quasimodular forms arise naturally in many situations such as curve counting on Abelian surfaces and counting ramified covers of orbifolds. In many cases the family of quasimodular forms naturally arises as the coefficients of a Taylor expansion of a Jacobi form. In this note we give examples of such expansions that arise in the study of partition statistics. The crank partition statistic has gathered much interest recently. For instance, Atkin and Garvan showed that the generating functions for the moments of the crank statistic are quasimodular forms. The two variable generating function for the crank partition statistic is a Jacobi form. Exploiting the structure inherent in the Jacobi theta function we construct explicit expressions for the functions of Atkin and Garvan. Furthermore, this perspective opens the door for further investigation including a study of the moments in arithmetic progressions. We conduct a thorough study of the crank statistic restricted to a residue class modulo 2.
