A key identity in three free parameters involving partitions into distinct parts is proved using Jackson's q-analog of Dougall's summation. This identity is shown to be combinatorially equivalent to a reformulation of a deep partition theorem of Go llnitz obtained by the use of a quartic transformat

✦ Synopsis
For i=1, 2, 3, 4, let Q i (n) denote the number of partitions of n into distinct parts i (mod 4). New weighted identities in three free parameters are established connecting Q i (n) with partitions whose parts differ by 4 and such that consecutive members of the arithmetic progression #i (mod 4) cannot occur as parts. By the use of suitable quartic transformations, these weighted identities are shown to be reformulations of a deep partition theorem of Go llnitz. Applications include new relations for partitions of the Go llnitz-Gordon type, a new proof of Jacobi's triple product identity and a remarkable congruence modulo powers of 2 for Q 2 (n).

In this paper we give a computer proof of a new polynomial identity, which extends a recent result of Alladi and the first author. In addition, we provide computer proofs for new finite analogs of Jacobi and Euler formulas. All computer proofs are done with the aid of the new computer algebra packag
In a recent paper, Ono and Skinner [1998, Ann. of Math. 147, 453 470] show that if a half integral weight eigenform g(z) is good, then g(z) has infinitely many coefficients prime to l, for all but finitely many primes l. Their paper ends with the conjecture that all half-integral weight eigenforms (
