Abstract

Recently, Lovejoy introduced the construct of overpartition pairs which are a natural generalization of overpartitions. Here we generalize that idea to overpartition k-tuples and prove several congruences related to them. We denote the number of overpartition k-tuples of a positive integer n by k(n) and prove, for example, that for all n ≥ 0,

t–1(tn + r) ≡ 0 (mod t)

where t is prime and r is a quadratic nonresidue mod t.
