In particular, they applied the theory of Klein forms to show that there exist many Ramanujan-type congruences for the number $\\bar{pp}(n)$. In this paper, we shall derive two Ramanujan-type identities and some explicit congruences for $\\bar{pp}(n)$. Moreover, we find three ranks as combinatorial interpretations of the fact that $\\bar{pp}(n)$ is divisible by three for any n. We also construct infinite families of congruences for $\\bar{pp}(n)$ modulo 3, 5, and 9.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-09-25T14:21:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A17", "11P83" ], "keywords": [ "overpartition pairs", "arithmetic properties", "construct infinite families", "congruence properties", "combinatorial interpretations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.5016C" } } }
