====== The Newman conjecture ====== The Newman conjecture was created by Morris Newman in 1960. It remains unsolved. It's stated formally as : {{:spacer.png?40}}For any integers// m// and// r// such that $${\displaystyle 0\leq r\leq m-1}$${{:spacer.png?40}}the value of the partition function $${\displaystyle p(n)}$$ {{:spacer.png?40}}satisfies the congruence $${\displaystyle p(n)\equiv r{\pmod {m}}}$$ {{:spacer.png?40}}for infinitely many non-negative integers //n//. In plain language : Given arbitrary //m//, //r//, are there infinitely values of //n// such that the partition function at //n// is congruent to //r// mod //m//?
