Ramanujan proved three famous congruences for the partition function modulo 5, 7, and 11. The first author and Boylan proved that these congruences are the only ones of this type. In 1984 Andrews introduced the $m$-colored Frobenius…

We establish two families of congruences modulo powers of 5 for the Fourier coefficients of $(2E_2(2\tau)-E_2(\tau))\eta(2\tau)^{-1}$, where $E_2(\tau)$ is the weight 2 Eisenstein series and $\eta(\tau)$ is the Dedekind eta function. This…
