Asymptotic Formula for $(t+1)$-Regular Partitions

A partition is $t$-regular if none of its parts is divisible by $t$. Let $p(N,t)$ be the number of $(t+1)$-regular partitions of a positive integer $N$. In 1971, Hagis proved an asymptotic formula for $p(N,t)$ using the circle method, when $t$ fixed. In this article, we use the saddle point method and extend the result of Hagis in different ranges of $t$, obtaining explicit bounds. We also discuss an application of our result to estimate zeros in the character table of the symmetric group.
