Regularly spaced subsums of integer partitions
For integer partitions , where , we study the sum of the parts of odd index. We show
that the average of this sum, over all partitions of , is of the
form More
generally, we study the sum of the parts whose
indices lie in a given arithmetic progression and we show that the average of
this sum, over all partitions of , is of the form
, with explicitly given
constants . Interestingly, for odd and we have
, so in this case the error term is of lower order. The methods used
involve asymptotic formulas for the behavior of Lambert series and the Zeta
function of Hurwitz.
We also show that if is the number of partitions of the sum of
whose parts of even index is , then for every , agrees with a
certain universal sequence, Sloane's sequence \texttt{#A000712}, for
but not for any larger
Results on Normal Forms for FPU Chains
In this paper we prove, among other results, that near the equilibirum position, any periodic FPU chain with an odd number N of particles admits a Birkhoff normal form up to order 4, whereas any periodic FPU chain with N even admits a resonant normal form up to order 4. This resonant normal form of order 4 turns out to be completely integrable. Further, for N odd, we obtain an explicit formula of the Hessian of its Hamiltonian at the fixed poin
Restriction of Odd Degree Characters of
Let and be natural numbers such that . We study the
restriction to of odd-degree irreducible characters of
the symmetric group . This analysis completes the study begun

Higher Order SPT-Functions
Andrews' spt-function can be written as the difference between the second
symmetrized crank and rank moment functions. Using the machinery of Bailey
pairs a combinatorial interpretation is given for the difference between higher
order symmetrized crank and rank moment functions. This implies an inequality
between crank and rank moments that was only know previously for sufficiently
large n and fixed order. This combinatorial interpretation is in terms of a
weighted sum of partitions. A number of congruences for higher order
spt-functions are derived.Comment: 21 pages (previous version was 19 pages), added reference to Andrews
