1-Shell totally symmetric plane partitions (TSPPs) modulo powers of 5

Let s(n) be the number of 1-shell totally symmetric plane partitions (TSPPs) of n. In this paper, an infinite family of congruences modulo powers of 5 for s(n) will be deduced through an elementary approach. Namely, s2·52α-1n+52α-1≡0(mod5α).\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned} s\left( 2\cdot 5^{2\alpha -1}n+5^{2\alpha -1}\right) \equiv 0 \pmod {5^{\alpha }}. \end{aligned}$$\end{document}
