The statistical physics of graphs and partition functions represents a vibrant intersection of graph theory, statistical mechanics and computational complexity. By summing over an ensemble of ...

Eighty years ago, Ramanujan conjectured and proved some striking congruences for the partition function modulo powers of 5, 7, and 11. Until recently, only a handful of further such congruences were ...
