2 1534 Qinglun Yan, Xiaona Fan and Jing Fu In this paper, by means of the double functional equation method, we recover a difference equation on quintuple products, and then give a new proof of the Ramanujan congruence on partition function modulo 11 1 Difference equation on quintuple products Theorem 1 For the bivariate function f(x, y) defined by f(x, y) =y q 2,qx 2,q/x 2 ; q 2] x 4,q 4 /x 4 ; q 4] q 2,y 2,q 2 /y 2 ; q 2] q 2 y 4,q 2 /y 4 ; q 4], there holds the following identity on symmetric difference: f(x, y) f(y, x) =y(q; q) 2 x 2,q/x 2,y 2,q/y 2, xy, q/xy, x/y, qy/x; q ] This is one of the very important theta function identities, which is similar to Winquist s identity 6] For more proofs, the reader can refer to 1, 2, 3] etc Proof For the bivariate function g(x, y) defined by the following infinite products g(x, y) =(q; q) 2 x 2,q/x 2,y 2,q/y 2, xy, q/xy, x/y, qy/x; q], it s trivial to see g(x, y) is analytic on 0 < x, y < Then we can expand it as a double Laurent series g(x, y) = C m,nx m y n From the definition of g(x, y), we find two functional equations g(x, y) = qx 6 g(qx,y), g(x, y) =q 2 y 6 g(x, qy), which lead us to the following recurrence relations C m,n = q m5 C m6,n, C m,n = q n4 C m,n6 after some computation By iteration, we find that, for 0 A, B 6, there exists C 6m+A,6n+B = q 3m2 +3n (11) 2 +Am+Bn2mn C A,B On the other hand, we also find g(x, y) =y 2 g(x, 1/y), g(x, y) =x/yg(y, x), which lead us to the following two recurrence relations (12) C m,n = C m,n+2, C m,n = C n+1,m1 In terms of the relations above, we get (13) C 0,0 = C 1,1 = C 1,3 = C 4,0 = C 4,2 = C 3,3 = C 3,1 = C 0,2 = C 0,0 This shows that 8 of the 36 coefficients sought by (13) are equal to ±C 0,0 We can also show that the remaining 28 coefficients are equal to 0 by means of (11) and (12) For example: C 0,1 = C 2,1 = C 2,3 = C 4,1 = C 4,1 =0; C 0,3 = C 4,1 = C 4,3 = C 4,3 =0; C 0,4 = C 5,3 = C 4,4 = C 4,4 =0; C 0,5 = C 6,3 = C 4,5 = qc 4,3 =0; Then g(x, y) can be reformulated as follows { g(x, y) =C 0,0 q 3m22m (1 x 4 q 4m )x 6m q 3m2 m (1 x 2 q 2m )x 6m+1 q 3n2 n (1 y 2 q 2n )y 6n q 3n2 2n (1 y 4 q 4n )y 6n1
3 Difference equation on quintuple products 1535 Applying the quintuple product identity, we simplify the last result as g(x, y) =C 0,0 { q 2,qx 2,q/x 2 ; q 2] x 4,q 4 /x 4 ; q 4] q 2,y 2,q 2 /y 2 ; q 2] q 2 y 4,q 2 /y 4 ; q 4] x q 2,x 2,q 2 /x 2 ; q 2] y q 2 x 4,q 2 /x 4 ; q 4] q 2,qy 2,q/y 2 ; q 2] y 4,q 4 /y 4 ; q 4] Next, we need to calculate C 0,0 Setting x = q 1/4, y = i, we derive C 0,0 =1 easily We derive the very identity appeared in the theorem 2 Ramanujan s partition congruence p(11n + 6) 0 (mod 11) As pointed out in 1, 2], applying the quintuple product identity, we redisplayed f(x, y) in Theorem 1 as f(x, y) { + { + = (x 2+6m x 26m )q 3m2 +2m (y 1+6n y 16n )q 3n2 +n x 2 y 2 The difference equation stated in Theorem 1 can be reformulated as f(x, y) f(y, x) = (q; q)2 x 2,y 2, xy, x/y, q/x 2,q/y 2, q/xy, qy/x; q ] x 2 y 2 x 2 y { + { + = (x 2+6m x 26m )q 3m2 +2m (y 1+6n y 16n )q 3n2 +n { + { + (y 2+6m y 26m )q 3m2 +2m (x 1+6n x 16n )q 3n2 +n Applying first x y, and then three times of x y derive the following identity 1, 2] Corollary 2 6(q; q) 10 = { + { + (2 + 6m) 3 q 3m2 +m at x = y = 1 to both sides, we (1 + 6n)q 3n2 +n { + { + (2 + 6m)q 3m2 +2m (1 + 6n) 3 q 3n2 +n This identity can be used to prove the Ramanujan s partition congruence p(11n +6) 0 (mod 11) Here, using Hirschhorn s method in 5] and Corollary 2, we give another proof of p(11n +6) 0 (mod 11)
4 1536 Qinglun Yan, Xiaona Fan and Jing Fu Theorem 3 Let p(n) denote the number of unrestricted partitions of the natural number n Then there holds the congruence p(11n +6) 0 (mod 11) Proof By means of Theorem 2, we have { + (q; q) 10 =2 { + (2 + 6m) 3 q 3m2 +m (1 + 6n)q 3n2 +n { + { + 2 (2 + 6m)q 3m2 +2m (1 + 6n) 3 q 3n2 +n (mod 11) According to the residues of m, n modulo 11, we may reformulate the summations inside { as, respectively (1 + 6n)q 3n2 +n = I 1 5q 2 I 5 4q 4 I 7 +2q 14 I 13 +5q 24 I 17 3q 30 I 19 q 44 I 23 +3q 52 I 25 +4q 70 I 29 2q 80 I 31 (mod 11); (1 + 6n) 3 q 3n2 +n = I 1 4q 2 I 5 2q 4 I 7 3q 14 I 13 +4q 24 I 17 5q 30 I 19 q 44 I 23 +5q 52 I 25 2q 70 I 29 +3q 80 I 31 (mod 11); (2 + 6m)q 3m2 +2m =2I 2 4qI 4 3q 5 I 8 q 8 I 10 +3q 16 I 14 5q 21 I 16 2q 33 I 20 +4q 56 I 26 +5q 65 I 28 q 85 I 32 (mod 11); (2 + 6m) 3 q 3m2 +m = 3I 2 +2qI 4 5q 5 I 8 + q 8 I 10 +5q 16 I 14 4q 21 I 16 +3q 33 I 20 2q 56 I 26 +5q 65 I 28 q 85 I 32 (mod 11); where I k =(q k,q 36311k,q 726 ; q 726 ) Then
