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 [3]. In particular, we prove that there are infinitely many congruences for cφ k (n) modulo ℓ, where gcd(ℓ, 6k) = 1, and we also prove results on the parity of cφ k (n). Along the way, we prove results regarding the parity of coefficients of weakly holomorphic modular forms which generalize work of Ono [15].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
