Abstract

Recently Gordon and McIntosh introduced the third order mock theta function ξ(q) defined by ξ(q)=1+2∑n=1∞q6n2-6n+1(q;q6)n(q5;q6)n.Our goal in this paper is to study arithmetic properties of the coefficients of this function. We present a number of such properties, including several infinite families of Ramanujan-like congruences.
