K.T. Atanassov introduced the two arithmetic functions $I(n) = \prod_{\nu=1}^k p_\nu^{1/\alpha_\nu} \qquad \text{and}\qquad R(n) = \prod_{\nu=1}^k p_\nu^{\alpha_v - 1}$ called the irrational factor and the strong ...

We study congruences in the coefficients of modular and other automorphic forms. Ramanujan famously found congruences for the partition function like p(5n+4) = 0 mod 5. For a wide class of modular forms, we classify the ...
