On the distribution of rank and crank statistics for integer partitions

Let $k$ be a positive integer and $m$ be an integer. Garvan's $k$-rank $N_k(m,n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into at least $(k-1)$ successive Durfee squares with $k$-rank equal to $m$. In this paper give some asymptotics for $N_k(m,n)$ with $|m|\ge \sqrt{n}$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$. As a corollary, we give a more complete answer for the Dyson's crank distribution conjecture. We also establish some asymptotic formulas for finite differences of $N_k(m,n)$ with respect to $m$ with $m\gg \sqrt{n}\log n$.

On the average sum of the $k$-th divisor function over values of quadratic polynomials

Let $F({\bf x})\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n]$ be a quadratic polynomial in $n\geq 3$ variables with a nonsingular quadratic part. Using the circle method we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum $$ Σ_{k,F}(X; {\mathcal{B}})=\sum_{{\bf x}\in X\mathcal{B}\cap\mathbb{Z}^{n}}τ_{k}\left(F({\bf x})\right), $$ for $X$ tending to infinity, where $\mathcal{B}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is an $n$-dimensional box such that $\min\limits_{{\bf x}\in X\mathcal{B}}F({\bf x})\ge 0$ for all sufficiently large $X$, and $τ_{k}(\cdot)$ is the $k$-th divisor function for any integer $k\ge 2$.

On the distribution of rank statistic for strongly concave compositions

A strongly concave composition of $n$ is an integer partition with strictly decreasing and increasing parts. In this paper we give a uniform asymptotic formula for the rank statistic of a strongly concave composition introduced by Andrews, Rhoades and Zwegers ['Modularity of the concave composition generating function', Algebra \& Number Theory 7 (2013), no. 9, 2103--2139].

Proof of a conjecture of Farkas and Kra

In this paper we prove a conjectured modular equation of Farkas and Kra, which involving a half sum of certain modular form of weight $1$ for congruence subgroup $Γ_1(k)$ with any prime $k$. We prove that their conjectured identity holds for all odd integer $k\ge 2$. A new modular equation of Farkas and Kra type is also established.

On the sum of the reciprocals of the differences between consecutive primes

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime number, and let $d_n=p_{n+1}-p_{n}$. Under the Hardy--Littlewood prime-pair conjecture, we prove \begin{align*} \sum_{n\le X}\frac{\log^αd_n}{d_n} \sim\begin{cases} \frac{X\log\log\log X}{\log X}~\qquad\quad~ &α=-1,\\ \frac{X}{\log X}\frac{(\log\log X)^{1+α}}{1+α}\qquad &α>-1, \end{cases} \end{align*} and establish asymptotic properties for some series of $d_n$ without the Hardy--Littlewood prime-pair conjecture.

Asymptotic formulae for Eulerian series

Let $(a;q)_{\infty}$ be the $q$-Pochhammer symbol and $\mathrm{li}_2(x)$ be the dilogarithm function. Let $\prod_{α,β,γ}$ be a finite product with every triple $(α,β,γ)\in(\mathbb{R}_{>0})^3$ and $S_{αβγ}\in\mathbb{R}$. Also let the triple $(A,B,v)\in\left(\mathbb{R}_{>0}\times\mathbb{R}^2\right)\cup\left(\{0\}^2\times\mathbb{R}_{>0}\right)\cup\left(\{0\}\times\mathbb{R}_{<0}\times\mathbb{R}\right)$. In this work, we let $z=e^v$, denote by $H_{-1}(u)=vu-Au^2+\sum_α\mathrm{li}_2(e^{-αu})\sum_{β,γ} β^{-1}S_{αβγ}$ and consider the Eulerien series \[\mathcal{H}(z;q)=\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{Am^2+Bm}z^{m}}{\prod\limits_{α,β,γ}(q^{αm+γ};q^β)_{\infty}^{S_{αβγ}}}.\] We prove that if there exist an $\varepsilon>0$ such that $H_{-1}(u)$ is an increasing function on $[0,\varepsilon)$, then as $q\rightarrow 1^-$, \[\mathcal{H}(z;q)=\left(1+o\left(|\log q|^p\right)\right)\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{Ax^2+Bx}z^{x}}{\prod\limits_{α,β,γ}(q^{αx+γ};q^β)_{\infty}^{S_{αβγ}}}\,dx\] holds for each $p\ge 0$. We also obtain full asymptotic expansions for $\mathcal{H}(z;q)$ which satisfy above condition as $q\rightarrow 1^{-}$. The complete asymptotic expansions for related basic hypergeometric series could be derived as special cases.
