Abstract

We establish two families of congruences modulo powers of 5 for the Fourier coefficients of (2E2(2τ)E2(τ))η(2τ)1(2E_2(2\tau)-E_2(\tau))\eta(2\tau)^{-1}, where E2(τ)E_2(\tau) is the weight 2 Eisenstein series and η(τ)\eta(\tau) is the Dedekind eta function. This allows us to prove similar congruences for two smallest parts functions. The first function is sptω(n)\mathrm{spt}_{\omega}(n), which was introduced by Andrews, Dixit and Yee and associated with Ramanujan/Watson's third order mock theta function ω(q)\omega(q). The second one is sptC5(n)\mathrm{spt}_{C5}(n), which appeared in the work of Garvan and Jennings-Shaffer. Moreover, we confirm two conjectural congruences of Wang.
