Relations among Ramanujan-type congruences II: Ramanujan-type congruences in half-integral weights (Q6040156)

The paper under review is a continuation work of the author, now he is interested the same problems in half-integral weight modular forms. In the paper under review, the author shows that Ramanujan-type congruences are preserved by the action of the shallow Hecke algebra and and discovers a dichotomy between congruences originating in Hecke eigenvalues and congruences on arithmetic progressions with cube-free periods which provides congruences among algebraic parts of twisted central \(L\)-values. As an application, the author works on integer partitions as proofs of partition congruences by Atkin and by Ono. Based on a modulo \(\ell\) analogue of the Maeda conjecture for certain partition generating functions, he concludes that their approach by Hecke operators acting diagonally modulo \(\ell\) on modular forms is indeed close to optimal. This works includes some important structure results for Ramanujan-type congruences which may have further applications for experimental works. The results are very interesting and the paper is well organized.
