β¦ Synopsis
Let Q(n) denote the number of partitions of an integer n into distinct parts. For positive integers j, the first author and B. Gordon proved that Q(n) is a multiple of 2 j for every non-negative integer n outside a set with density zero. Here we show that if i 0 (mod 2 j ), then
In particular, Q(n) lies in every residue class modulo 2 j infinitely often. In addition, we examine the behavior of Q(n) (mod 8) in detail, and we obtain a simple ``closed formula'' using the arithmetic of the ring Z[-&6].

In this paper, we find simple 2-adic congruences mod 2 [nΓ2]+1 for the No rlund numbers B (n) n and for the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind b n . These congruences improve F. T.

Let KΓk be an extension of degree p 2 over a p-adic number field k with the Galois group G. We study the Galois module structure of the ring O K of integers in K. We determine conditions under which the invariant factors of Kummer orders O K t in O K of two extensions coincide with each other and gi
Tverberg's 1966 theorem asserts that every set X of (m -1)(d + 1) + 1 points in R d has a partition X 1 , X 2 , . . . , X m such that m i=1 conv X i = Ο. We give a short and elementary proof of a theorem on convex cones which generalizes this result. As a consequence, we deduce several divisibility
