Abstract
The coefficients of the generating function produce for . In particular, when , the partition function is obtained. Recently, Chan and Wang identified and proved congruences of the form where is a prime such that for . Expanding upon their work, we use the representation of powers of the Dedekind-eta functions in linear sums of Hecke eigenforms and their lacunarity to raise the power of the modulus to higher powers of . In addition, we generate congruences for when employing Hecke algebra.
