Arithmetic properties of 2-color overpartition pairs

M. S. M. Naika, S. S. Nayaka

Let pk,-2(n) counts the number of overpartition pairs of n with 2-color in which one of the colors appears only in parts that are multiples of k. We establish several infinite families of congruences modulo powers of 2 and 3 for pk,-2(n) where k= 2 and 3. For example, for all n ≥ 0 and α ≥ 0, we have

p2,-2(16 · 34α+2n + 34 · 34α+1) ≡ 0 (mod 128),

p3,-2(6 · 25α+2n + 20·25α+2) ≡ 0 (mod 27).
