Congruences of the partition function

Abstract: Let

p (n)

denote the partition function. In this article, we will show that congruences of the form

p(m^jell^kn+B)equiv 0mod m ext{for all} nge 0

exist for all primes

m

and

e l l

satisfying

m g e 13

and

e l l e q 2, 3, m

. Here the integer

k

depends on the Hecke eigenvalues of a certain invariant subspace of

S_{m / 2 - 1} (G a m m a_{0} (576), c h i_{12})

and can be explicitly computed. More generally, we will show that for each integer

i > 0

there exists an integer

k

such that for every non-negative integers

j g e i

with a properly chosen

B

the congruence

p(m^jell^kn+B)equiv 0mod m^i

holds for all integers

n

not divisible by

e l l

.
