Review text

A partition is called \(l\)-affine if all its parts are powers of \(l\). Following a method suggested by Ono, the author expresses \(p(n)\pmod l\) as a weighted sum taken over \(l\)-affine partitions of \(n\). If \(l\) is one of the first 5 primes, then the weights involve binary quadratic forms.
