Andrews–Garvan–Straub conjecture on linear congruences for the function ξ(n)\xi(n)

Let pp be a prime, let ξ(n)\xi(n) denote the function studied in the paper, and let A,nNA,n\in\mathbb N.

Andrews–Garvan–Straub conjecture. There exists a BNB\in\mathbb N such that

ξ(pAnB)0(modpA)\xi\left(p^A n-B\right)\equiv0\pmod{p^A}

for all nn precisely when

p=23orp5,7,10,11,14,15,17,19,20,21,22(mod23).p=23\quad\text{or}\quad p\equiv 5,7,10,11,14,15,17,19,20,21,22\pmod {23}.

This conjecture asserts that the congruences already exhibited for ξ(n)\xi(n) account for all linear congruences of the indicated form. The source describes it as an important challenge for future work, and gives no resolution.
