Quasimodular forms that detect primes are Eisenstein

Jan-Willem van Ittersum, Lukas Mauth, Ken Ono +1

MacMahon's partition functions and their extensions provide equations that identify prime numbers as solutions. These results depend on the theory of (mixed weight) quasimodular fo…

Some topological genera and Jacobi forms

Tewodros Amdeberhan, Michael Griffin, Ken Ono

We revisit and elucidate the -genus, Hirzebruch's -genus and Witten's -genus, cobordism invariants of special classes of manifolds. After slight modification, in…

Pentagonal number recurrence relations for

Kevin Gomez, Ken Ono, Hasan Saad +1

We revisit Euler's partition function recurrence, which asserts, for integers that $$ p(n)=p(n-1)+p(n-2)-p(n-5)-p(n-7)+\dots = \sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z}\setminus \{0\}} (-1)…

Distribution of hooks in self-conjugate partitions

William Craig, Ken Ono, Ajit Singh

We confirm the speculation that the distribution of -hooks among unrestricted integer partitions essentially descends to self-conjugate partitions. Namely, we prove that the num…

Distribution of the Hessian values of Gaussian hypergeometric functions

Ken Ono, Sudhir Pujahari, Hasan Saad +1

We consider a special family of Gaussian hypergeometric functions whose entries are cubic and trivial characters over finite fields. The special values of these functions are known…

Traces of partition Eisenstein series

Tewodros Amdeberhan, Michael Griffin, Ken Ono +1

We study "partition Eisenstein series", extensions of the Eisenstein series defined by $$λ=(1^{m_1}, 2^{m_2},\dots, k^{m_k}) \vdash k \ \ \ \ \ \longmapsto \ \ \ \ \…
