Arithmetic properties of septic partition functions

Congruences and related identities are derived for a set of colored and weighted partition functions whose generating functions generate the graded algebra of integer weight modular forms of level seven. The work determines a general strategy for identifying and proving identities and associated congruences for modular forms on the principal congruence subgroup of level 7. Ramanujan's partition congruence modulo 7 serves as a prototype for the process used to prove new congruences for modular forms of level 7.
