We obtain a two variable generating function for the number of triangular partitions. Using this generating function, we study arithmetic properties of a certain weighted count of triangular partitions. Finally, we introduce a rank-type function for triangular partitions, which gives a combinatorial explanation for a triangular partition congruence.

In 1963, Graham introduced a problem to find integer partitions such that the reciprocal sum of their parts is 1. Inspired by Graham's work and classical partition identities, we show that there is an integer partition of a sufficiently large integer n such that the reciprocal sum of the parts is 1, while the parts satisfy certain congruence conditions.

By acting the dihedral group $D_k$ on the set of k-tuple multi-partitions, we introduce k-gonal partitions for all positive integers k. We give generating functions for these new partition functions and investigate their arithmetic properties.

We study congruence properties of the number of cubic partition pairs weighted by the parity of the crank. If we define such number to be c(n), then $c(5n+4){\equiv}0$ (mod 5) and $c(7n+2){\equiv}0$ (mod 7), for all nonnegative integers n.

Recently, Gireesh, Shivashankar, and Naika [11] found some infinite classes of congruences for the 3- and the 9-regular cubic partitions modulo powers of 3. We extend their study to all the 3^k-regular cubic partitions. We also find new families of congruences.

We find congruences modulo 32, 64 and 128 for the partition function ${\overline{PP}_o}(n)$, the number of overpartition pairs of n into odd parts, with the aid of Ramamnujan's theta function identities and some known identities of t_k(n), for k = 6, 7, where t_k(n) denotes the number of representations of n as a sum of k triangular numbers. We also find two Ramanujan-like congruences for ${\overline{PP}_o}(n)$ modulo 128.

We introduce a new class of bi-partition function c_k(n), which counts the number of bi-color partitions of n in which the second color only appears at the parts that are multiples of k. We consider two partitions to be the same if they can be obtained by switching the color of parts that are congruent to zero modulo k. We show that the generating function for c_k(n) involves the partial theta function and obtain the following congruences: c₂(27n + 26) ≡ 0 (mod 3) and c₃(4n + 2) ≡ 0 (mod 2).

A partition of n is called a t-core partition if none of its hook number is divisible by t. In 2019, Hirschhorn and Sellers [5] obtained a parity result for 3-core partition function a3(n). Motivated by this result, both the authors [8] recently proved that for a non-negative integer α, a3αm(n) is almost always divisible by an arbitrary power of 2 and 3 and at(n) is almost always divisible by an arbitrary power of pji, where j is a fixed positive integer and t = pa11pa22···pamm with primes pi ≥ 5. In this article, by using Hecke eigenform theory, we obtain infinite families of congruences and multiplicative identities for a2(n) and a13(n) modulo 2 which generalizes some results of Das [2].

Let X be a nonempty set, and let $\mathfrak{F}=\{Y_i:i{\in}I\}$ be a family of nonempty subsets of X with the properties that $X={\bigcup}_{i{\in}I}Y_i$, and $Y_i{\cap}Y_j={\emptyset}$ for all $i,j{\in}I$ with $i{\neq}j$. Let ${\emptyset}{\neq}J{\subseteq}I$, and let $T^{(J)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)=\{{\alpha}{\in}T(X):{\forall}i{\in}I{\exists}_j{\in}J,Y_i{\alpha}{\subseteq}Y_j\}$. Then $T^{(J)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ is a subsemigroup of the semigroup $T(X,Y^{(J)})$ of functions on X having ranges contained in $Y^{(J)}$, where $Y^{(J)}:={\bigcup}_{i{\in}J}Y_i$. For each ${\alpha}{\in}T^{(J)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$, let ${\chi}^{({\alpha})}:I{\rightarrow}J$ be defined by $i{\chi}^{({\alpha})}=j{\Leftrightarrow}Y_i{\alpha}{\subseteq}Y_j$. Next, we define two congruence relations ${\chi}$ and $\widetilde{\chi}$ on $T^{(J)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ as follows: $({\alpha},{\beta}){\in}{\chi}{\Leftrightarrow}{\chi}^{({\alpha})}={\chi}^{({\beta})}$ and $({\alpha},{\beta}){\in}\widetilde{\chi}{\Leftrightarrow}{\chi}^{({\alpha})}{\mid}_J={\chi}^{({\alpha})}{\mid}_J$. We begin this paper by studying the regularity of the quotient semigroups $T^{(J)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)/{\chi}$ and $T^{(J)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)/{\widetilde{\chi}}$, and the semigroup $T^{(J)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$. For each ${\alpha}{\in}T_{\mathfrak{F}}(X):=T^{(I)}_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$, we see that the equivalence class [${\alpha}$] of ${\alpha}$ under ${\chi}$ is a subsemigroup of $T_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ if and only if ${\chi}^{({\alpha})}$ is an idempotent element in the full transformation semigroup T(I). Let $I_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$, $S_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ and $B_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ be the sets of functions in $T_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ such that ${\chi}^{({\alpha})}$ is injective, surjective and bijective respectively. We end this paper by investigating the regularity of the subsemigroups [${\alpha}$], $I_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$, $S_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ and $B_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$ of $T_{\mathfrak{F}}(X)$.
