Benford's law for coefficients of modular forms and partition functions
2011
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
Preserved Fulltext
Here we prove that Benford's law holds for coefficients of an infinite class of modular forms. Expanding the work of Bringmann and Ono on exact formulas for harmonic Maass forms, we derive the necessary asymptotics. This implies that the unrestricted partition function p(n), as well as other natural partition functions, satisfies Benford's law.
