Proof of a conjecture of Hirschhorn and Sellers on overpartitions

William Y. C. ChenErnest X. W. Xia — 2014

Acta Arithmetica

Let p̅(n) denote the number of overpartitions of n. It was conjectured by Hirschhorn and Sellers that p̅(40n+35) ≡ 0 (mod 40) for n ≥ 0. Employing 2-dissection formulas of theta functions due to Ramanujan, and Hirschhorn and Sellers, we obtain a generating function for p̅(40n+35) modulo 5. Using the (p, k)-parametrization of theta functions given by Alaca, Alaca and Williams, we prove the congruence p̅(40n+35) ≡ 0 (mod 5) for n ≥ 0. Combining this congruence and the congruence p̅(4n+3) ≡ 0 (mod...
