The nonexistence of simple parity congruences for even-regular partitions when 3 divides the odd part

From papers

Let m0m_0 be the odd part of an even integer mm, and let bm(n)b_m(n) denote the coefficients of the corresponding mm-regular partition generating function. Theorem gives congruences between subprogressions of bmb_m and multipartition functions ptp_t. Nonexistence conjecture. No congruence of the simple form given in Theorem holds when m00(mod3)m_0\equiv 0\pmod{3}. This predicts that the displayed family does not extend to the case where the odd part of the regularity parameter is divisible by 33; the source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
