Sums of triangular numbers and $t$-core partitions

Studying the case when t = 2 leads to an investigation of sums of triangular numbers. Gauss showed the following famous Eureka Theorem to determine represent ...

This because Theorem 1.1 can be used in one situation: k = 3l + 1 implies 1+(3l+1+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3). On the other hand, if k = 3l+2 we get (k+1) = (3l+2)+1 = 3(l+1) ≥ 3 and the ...
