Abstract: For positive integers $1leqileqk$, we consider the arithmetic properties of quotients of Wronskians in certain normalizations of the Andrews-Gordon $q$-series ${\displaystyle }$ prod_{1leq n ot equiv 0,pm ipmod{2k+1}}frac{1}{1-q^n}. ${\displaystyle }$ This study is motivated by their appearance in conformal field theory, where these series are essentially the irreducible characters of $(2,2k+1)$ Virasoro minimal models. We determine the vanishing of such Wronskians, a result whose proof reveals many partition identities. For example, if $P_b(a;n)$ denotes the number of partitions of $n$ into parts which are not congruent to $0,pmapmodb$, then for every positive integer $n$ we have ${\displaystyle }$ P_{27}(12; n)=P_{27}(6;n-1) + P_{27}(3;n-2). ${\displaystyle }$ We also show that these quotients classify supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic $p$. More precisely, if $2k+1=p$, where $pgeq5$ is prime, and the quotient is non-zero, then it is essentially the locus of characteristic $p$ supersingular $j$-invariants in characteristic $p$.
