Congruences for modular and (p)-adic modular forms (11F33) Partitions; congruences and congruential restrictions (11P83)

Abstract: The partition function is known to exhibit beautiful congruences that are often proved using the theory of modular forms. In this paper, we study the extent to which these congruence results apply to the generalized Frobenius partitions defined by Andrews. In particular, we prove that there are infinitely many congruences for $cph{i}_k(n)$ modulo $ell,$ where $gcd(ell,6k)=1,$ and we also prove results on the parity of $cph{i}_k(n).$ Along the way, we prove results regarding the parity of coefficients of weakly holomorphic modular forms which generalize work of Ono.

Review text

The \(k\)-colored generalized Frobenius partitions were introduced by [\textit{G. E. Andrews}, Generalized Frobenius partitions. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (1984; Zbl 0544.10010)] as a new family of objects which generalize partitions of an integer. These are enumerated by \(c\phi_k(n)\), where \(k\geq 1\) is the number of colors in question. George E. Andrews [loc. cit.] proved that \(c\phi_2(5n+3) \equiv 0 \pmod 5\). Then many authors proved congruence properties for various \(k\)-colored generalized Frobenius partition functions, typically with a small number of colors. In this paper, the authors prove that there are infinitely many congruences for \(c\phi_k(n)\) modulo \(\ell\), where \(gcd(\ell, 6k) = 1\). Some results on the parity of \(c\phi_k(n)\) are provided in this context.
