Saikia's parity and 2-adic congruence conjecture for overpartition prime-tuples

About 3 years old · traced to

Let p‾q(n)\overline{p}_{q}(n) denote the number of overpartition qq-tuples of nn, where qq is prime. Saikia's conjecture. For all n≥0n\geq 0 and primes qq,

p‾q(8n+1)≡0(mod2),p‾q(8n+2)≡0(mod4),p‾q(8n+3)≡0(mod8),p‾q(8n+4)≡0(mod2),p‾q(8n+5)≡0(mod8),p‾q(8n+6)≡0(mod8),p‾q(8n+7)≡0(mod32).\begin{aligned} \overline{p}_{q}(8n+1)&\equiv 0 \pmod{2},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+2)&\equiv 0 \pmod{4},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+3)&\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+4)&\equiv 0 \pmod{2},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+5)&\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+6)&\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+7)&\equiv 0 \pmod{32}. \end{aligned}

These congruences extend known arithmetic properties of overpartition tuples and were proposed by Saikia; their general validity remains open.
