Some new infinite families of congruences modulo 3 for overpartitions into odd parts
Let denote the number of overpartitions of n in which only odd parts are used. Some congruences modulo 3 and powers of 2 for the function have been derived by Hirschhorn and Sellers, and Lovejoy and Osburn. In this paper, employing 2-dissections of certain quotients of theta functions due to Ramanujan, we prove some new infinite families of Ramanujan-type congruences for modulo 3. For example, we prove that for n, α ≥ 0, .
