Divisibility of Andrews' singular overpartitions by powers of 2 and 3

Abstract: Andrews introduced the partition function

o v e r l i n e C_{k, i} (n)

, called singular overpartition, which counts the number of overpartitions of

n

in which no part is divisible by

k

and only parts

e q u i v p m i p m o d k

may be overlined. He also proved that

o v e r l i n e C_{3, 1} (9 n + 3)

and

o v e r l i n e C_{3, 1} (9 n + 6)

are divisible by

3

for

n g e q 0

. Recently Aricheta proved that for an infinite family of

k

,

o v e r l i n e C_{3 k, k} (n)

is almost always even. In this paper, we prove that for any positive integer

k

,

o v e r l i n e C_{3, 1} (n)

is almost always divisible by

2^{k}

and

3^{k} .
