Polynomial partition asymptotics
Abstract: Let $f \in \mathbb{Z}[y]$ be a polynomial such that $f(\mathbb{N}) \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, and let $p_{\mathcal{A}{f}}(n)$ denote number of partitions of $n$ whose parts lie in the set $\mathcal{A}_f:={f(n):n \in \mathbb{N}}$. Under hypotheses on the roots of $f-f(0)$, we use the Hardy--Littlewood circle method, a polylogarithm identity, and the Matsumoto--Weng zeta function to derive asymptotic formulae for $p{\mathcal{A}_f}(n)$ as $n$ tends to infinity. This generalises asymptotic formulae for the number of partitions into perfect $d$th powers, established by Vaughan for $d=2$, and Gafni for the case $d \geq 2$, in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
