Noncongruence and odd-density conjecture for eta-quotient coefficients

From papers

Let fmf_m and bm(n)b_m(n) denote the eta-quotient and its coefficient sequence used in the paper, respectively, and let the odd density of a series mean the limiting proportion of its coefficients that are odd. Fix

m{6,10,14,15,18,20,22,26,27,28}.m \in \{6,10,14,15,18,20,22,26,27,28\}.

Noncongruence and odd-density conjecture. The following assertions hold:

  1. There are no integers A>0A>0 and B0B\geq 0 such that
bm(An+B)0(mod2)b_m(An+B)\equiv 0 \pmod{2}

for all nn. 2. The series fm/f1f_m/f_1 has odd density 1/21/2.

These claims predict that the indicated coefficient sequences have no identically even arithmetic progression, while the associated eta-quotient has asymptotically half of its coefficients odd. They are presented as noncongruences analogous to results of Ono and Radu for the partition function; their status is unresolved in the supplied source.
