Abstract
During his lifetime, Ramanujan made many beautiful discoveries ranging from elegant identities and formulas to work which influences modern number theory. In this talk, we discuss his work on the arithmetic of the ordinary partition function, Dyson's rank, and a generalization of partitions called overpartitions. This is joint work with Jeremy Lovejoy (Paris).
