Modulo 32 congruences for Schur-type overpartition numbers

From papers

Let S(n)S(n) denote the Schur-type overpartition function considered in the paper, and let nn be a nonnegative integer. Modulo 32 congruences. The following congruences are supported by computational evidence:

S(256n+123)=S(4(64n+31)1)S(64n+31)(mod32),S(256n+171)=S(4(64n+43)1)S(64n+43)(mod32),S(256n+235)=S(4(64n+59)1)S(64n+59)(mod32),S(256n+251)=S(4(64n+63)1)S(64n+63)(mod32).\begin{aligned} S(256n+123)&=S(4(64n+31)-1)\equiv S(64n+31)\pmod{32},\\ S(256n+171)&=S(4(64n+43)-1)\equiv S(64n+43)\pmod{32},\\ S(256n+235)&=S(4(64n+59)-1)\equiv S(64n+59)\pmod{32},\\ S(256n+251)&=S(4(64n+63)-1)\equiv S(64n+63)\pmod{32}. \end{aligned}

These congruences are presented as computationally supported directions for further work; the paper does not establish them, and their status remains open.
