In this paper, we mainly establish two supercongruences involving truncated hypergeometric series by using some hypergeometric transformation formulas. The first supercongruence confirms a recent conjecture of the second author. The second supercongruence confirms a conjecture of Guo, Liu and Schlosser partially, and gives a parametric extension of a supercongruence of Long and Ramakrishna.
In this paper, we establish some new divisibility results involving the Franel numbers [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and the polynomials [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]. For example, we show that for any positive integer [Formula: see text] we have [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and for any prime [Formula: see text] we have [Formula: see text]
Let ℤ p {\mathbb{Z}_{p}} denote the ring of all p-adic integers and call 𝒰 = { ( x 1 , … , x n ) : a 1 x 1 + … + a n x n + b = 0 } {\mathcal{U}}=\{(x_{1},\dots,x_{n}):a_{1}x_{1}+\dots+a_{n}x_{n}+b=0\} a hyperplane over ℤ p n {\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{n}} , where at least one of a 1 , … , a n {a_{1},\dots,a_{n}} is not divisible by p. We prove that if a sufficiently regular n-variable function is zero modulo p r {p^{r}} over some suitable collection of r hyperplanes, then it is zero modulo p r {p^{r}} over the whole ℤ p n {\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{n}} . We provide various applications of this general criterion by establishing several p-adic analogues of hypergeometric identities. For example, we confirm a conjecture of Deines et al. as follows: ∑ k = 0 p - 1 ( 2 5 ) k 5 ( k ! ) 5 ≡ - Γ p ( 1 5 ) 5 Γ p ( 2 5 ) 5 ( mod p 5 ) \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{(\frac{2}{5})_{k}^{5}}{(k!)^{5}}\equiv-\Gamma_{p}\bigg{(% }\frac{1}{5}\bigg{)}^{5}\Gamma_{p}\bigg{(}\frac{2}{5}\bigg{)}^{5}~{}(\mathrm{% mod}\,p^{5}) for each p ≡ 1 ( mod 5 ) {p\equiv 1~{}(\mathrm{mod}\,5)} , where ( x ) k = x ( x + 1 ) ⋯ ( x + k - 1 ) {(x)_{k}=x(x+1)\cdots(x+k-1)} and Γ p {\Gamma_{p}} denotes the p-adic Gamma function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
