Hybrid subconvexity and the partition function (Q2079481)

In the paper under review, the authors give an upper bound for the error term \(R(n,\nu)\) in the Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher formula for the partition function \[ p(n)=\sum_{q=1}^\nu A_q(n)\tilde\phi_q(n) +R(n,\nu). \] Actually, if \(24n-1=tw^2\), where \(t\) is squarefree then \[ R(n, \alpha \sqrt{n})\ll_{\alpha, \varepsilon} t^{-1/36} w^{-1/6} n^{-1/2+\varepsilon}. \] The above upper bound is an improvement of \textit{S. Ahlgren} and \textit{A. Dunn}'s bound [Math. Ann. 374, No. 3--4, 1681--1718 (2019; Zbl 1454.11080)].
