Proof of a Lin-Peng-Toh's conjecture on an Andrews-Beck type congruence
Ever since Ramanujan discovered in 1919 his famous congruences for the partition function, the study of arithmetic properties of various partition functions has been one of the major themes in the theory of partitions. A new twist in this field of study was recently sparked by Beck's conjectures and \textit{G. E. Andrews}'s proofs [Int. J. Number Theory 17, No. 2, 239--249 (2021; Zbl 1465.11200)] of them. More precisely, an Andrews-Beck type congruence, as referred to in the title of the paper under review, is in general an arithmetic property enjoyed not by the partition function itself, but rather by a cumulative counting function wherein each partition under consideration contributes certain weight (e.g. the number of parts) instead of \(1\) to the summation. The current paper is an interesting addition to the ever growing work on Andrews-Beck type congruences. To be precise, it confirms one conjecture due to \textit{B. L. S. Lin} et al. [Discrete Math. 344, No. 8, Article ID 112450, 13 p. (2021; Zbl 1478.11122)], which is an Andrews-Beck type congruence for weighted \(k\)-crank moments. \(k\)-crank is a partition statistic for \(k\)-colored partitions introduced by \textit{S. Fu} and \textit{D. Tang} [J. Number Theory 184, 485--497 (2018; Zbl 1420.11130)], and it generalizes the well-known Andrews-Garvan-Dyson crank for ordinary partitions. The proof given here (in section 3) is quite standard. Since this congruence is modulo \(7\), the first step is to \(7\)-dissect an expression for the desired summation that was first derived by \textit{B. L. S. Lin} et al. [Discrete Math. 344, No. 8, Article ID 112450, 13 p. (2021; Zbl 1478.11122)]. This results in a total of 63 series, out of which only 9 are relevant to the desired congruence. Further analysis on these 9 summands require two lemmas that help to rewrite q-series as eta-products. These two lemmas has been previously proved in section 2. It is pointed out in the closing section that this same method does not seem to be working for the remaining conjectures posed by Lin-Peng-Toh in [loc. cit.].
