Crank equidistribution and $(k,j)$-overlined partitions (2311.02383v1)

Abstract: In a paper published in 2023, Wagner introduced and studied Jacobi forms with complex multiplication, and gave several applications. One such application was in constructing a new doubly-infinite family of partition-theoretic objects, called $(k,j)$-coloured overpartitions and labelled by $\overline{p}{k,j}$, and using the Jacobi forms to construct crank functions which explain the Ramanujan-type congruences satisfied by $\overline{p}{k,j}$. In this note, we give an asymptotic formula for the number of $(k,j)$-coloured overpartitions and prove that any crank constructed by Wagner is asymptotically equidistributed on arithmetic progressions, following several papers in the literature.
