Rogers--Ramanujan identities from the geometry of

Yifeng Huang, Kenny Lau, Ken Ono

We prove the conjecture of Huang, Jiang, and Oblomkov (HJO) giving a geometric extension of the Rogers--Ramanujan and Andrews--Gordon identities for every torus-knot singularity $X…

Algebraic geometric framework of Rogers--Ramanujan identities

Yifeng Huang, Kenny Lau, Ken Ono +1

The Rogers--Ramanujan identities equate a -series whose exponents are governed by a quadratic form with an infinite product supported on two residue classes modulo~. Identiti…

Formalized -series: The Rogers-Ramanujan Identities and Beyond

Kenny Lau, Seewoo Lee, Ken Ono

The theory of -series and basic hypergeometric series plays a crucial role at the intersection of combinatorics, number theory, and representation theory. From the classical par…

Modularity of Point Counts for the Curves : New Rogers--Ramanujan Identities

Kenny Lau, Ken Ono

For coprime , let be the set of commuting pairs of nilpotent matrices over with . Huang, Jiang, and Oblomkov as…

Beyond Mock Modularity: Elliptic Corrections for Higher Dyson Ranks

Claudia Alfes, Ken Ono, Ashvin Swaminathan

When , the Dyson rank generating function is a classical bridge between partition theory, Ramanujan's mock theta functions, and the theory of harmonic Maass forms and nonhol…

Integer values of are rare

Ken Ono

For , we let In 2008, Amdeberhan, Medina, and Moll conjectured that for every . This was kn…

Thakur's hypotheses on power sums of

Evan Chen, Ken Ono

In his 2009 paper, Thakur posed three conjectural hypotheses for the degrees of the power sums \[ S_d(k)=\sum_{\substack{a\in \mathbb F_q[t] \text{ monic}\\ °a=d}} a^{-k} \qquad\te…

Four-digit Kaprekar dynamics in odd bases

Evan Chen, Ken Ono, Richard E. Schwartz +1

Start with four digits, arrange them in both descending and ascending order, subtract, and repeat. This simple process is known as the Kaprekar routine, famous in base ten for send…

ABC implies that Ramanujan's tau function misses almost all primes

David Kurniadi Angdinata, Evan Chen, Chris Cummins +21

Lehmer conjectured that Ramanujan's tau-function never vanishes. In a related direction, a folklore conjecture asserts that infinitely many primes arise as absolute values of Raman…

Almost all primes are partially regular

Evan Chen, Chris Cummins, Ben Eltschig +18

For odd primes , we let be the th cyclotomic field and let denote its Teichmuller character. For , we say that an odd prime is partially…

Parity of -differentials in genus zero and one

Dawei Chen, Evan Chen, Kenny Lau +2

Here we completely determine the spin parity of -differentials with prescribed zero and pole orders on Riemann surfaces of genus zero and one. This result was previously obtaine…

Parity of the partition function in quadratic progressions

Ken Ono, Ashvin Swaminathan

The parity of the partition function is one of the most stubborn problems in number theory. In 2010, the first author conjectured, for square-free , t…
