Abstract

Let T,k(n)T_{\ell,k}(n) denote the number of \ell-regular kk-tuple partitions of nn. In a recent work, Nath, Saikia, and Sarma derived several families of congruences for T,k(n)T_{\ell,k}(n), with particular emphasis on the cases T2,3(n)T_{2,3}(n) and T4,3(n)T_{4,3}(n). In the concluding remarks of their paper, they conjectured that T2,3(n)T_{2,3}(n) satisfies an infinite set of congruences modulo 6. In this paper, we confirm their conjecture by proving a much more general result using elementary qq-series techniques. We also present new families of congruences satisfied by T,k(n)T_{\ell,k}(n).
