Abstract: Let rj(pi,s) denote the number of cells, colored j, in the s-residue diagram of partition pi. The GBG-rank of pi mod s is defined as

GBG-rank(pi,s) = SUM j=0s-1 rj(pi,s) e2pi I j/s,     I=sqrt(-1).
We will prove that for (s,t)=1
nu(s,t) < binomial(s+t,s)/(s+t),
where nu(s,t) denotes a number of distinct values that the GBG-rank of a t-core mod s may assume. The above inequality becomes an equality when s is prime or when s is composite and t<2ps, where ps is a smallest prime divisor of s.

We will show that the generating functions for 4-cores with prescribed GBG-rank mod 3 value are all eta-products.
