Next we find congruences mod 5 for $pp(n)$, and then we use these to give a new proof of a refined system of congruences for $p(n)$ that was found by Berkovich and Garvan.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-05-17T22:49:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A17", "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "total number", "generating function proofs", "partitions", "congruences mod" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......5474C" } } }
