Overpartitions related to the mock theta function $\omega(q)$
Abstract
It was recently shown that , where is one of the third order mock theta functions, is the generating function of , the number of partitions of a positive integer such that all odd parts are less than twice the smallest part. In this paper, we study the overpartition analogue of , and express its generating function in terms of a basic hypergeometric series and an infinite series involving little -Jacobi polynomials. This is accomplished by obtaining a new seven parameter -series identity which generalizes a deep identity due to the first author as well as its generalization by R.P.~Agarwal. We also derive two interesting congruences satisfied by the overpartition analogue, and some congruences satisfied by the associated smallest parts function.
