Abstract

We study the divisibility properties of the coefficients c(n) defined by $$\prod_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(1-q^n)^2(1-q^{3n})^2}=\sum _{n=0}^\infty c(n)q^n.$$ An analogue of Ramanujan’s partition congruences is obtained for certain coefficients c(n) modulo powers of 2. Furthermore, an analogue of the identity that Hardy regarded as Ramanujan’s most beautiful is proved.
