Asymptotic formulas related to the \(M_2\)-rank of partitions without repeated odd parts (Q1987617)

Let $\pi$ be a partition of the positive integer $n$ and let $l(\pi)$ and $\#(\pi)$ denote the largest part size and the number of parts of $\pi$, respectively. The $M_2$-rank of $\pi$ is defined as $\lceil l(\pi)\rceil-\#(\pi)$. From the authors' abstract: ``We give asymptotic expansions for the moments of the $M_2$-rank generating function and for the $M_2$-rank generating function at roots of unity. For this we apply the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method extended to mock modular forms. Our formulas for the $M_2$-rank at roots of unity lead to asymptotics of certain combinations of $N2(r,m,n)$ (the number of partitions without repeated odd parts of $n$ with $M_2$-rank congruent to $r$ modulo $m$). This allows us to deduce inequalities among certain combinations of $N2(r,m,n)$.''
