Distribution of 3-regular and 5-regular partitions

Abstract

In this paper we study the function $b_3(n)$ and $b_5(n)$, which denote the number of $3$-regular partitions and $5$-regular partitions of $n$ respectively. Using the theory of modular forms, we prove several arithmetic properties of $b_3(n)$ and $b_5(n)$ modulo primes greater than $3$.
