Abstract

Let p3(n){{\overline{p}}_{3}}(n) be the number of overpartition triples of nn. By elementary series manipulations, we establish some congruences for p3(n){\overline{p}}_{3}(n) modulo small powers of 2, such as p3(16n+14)0(mod32),p3(8n+7)0(mod64).{{\overline{p}}_{3}}(16n+14)\equiv 0 \pmod{32}, \quad {{\overline{p}}_{3}}(8n+7)\equiv 0 \pmod{64}. We also find many arithmetic properties for p3(n){{\overline{p}}_{3}}(n) modulo 7, 9 and 11, involving the following infinite families of Ramanujan-type congruences: for any integers α1\alpha \ge 1 and n0n \ge 0, we have p3(32α+1(3n+2))0{{\overline{p}}_{3}}\big({{3}^{2\alpha +1}}(3n+2)\big)\equiv 0 (mod 9249\cdot 2^4), p3(4α1(56n+49))0\overline{p}_{3}(4^{\alpha-1}(56n+49)) \equiv 0 (mod 7) and p3(72α+1(7n+3))p3(72α+1(7n+5))p3(72α+1(7n+6))0(mod7).{{\overline{p}}_{3}}\big({{7}^{2\alpha +1}}(7n+3)\big)\equiv {{\overline{p}}_{3}}\big({{7}^{2\alpha +1}}(7n+5)\big)\equiv {{\overline{p}}_{3}}\big({{7}^{2\alpha +1}}(7n+6)\big)\equiv 0 \pmod{7}.
