We mainly show a supercongruence for a truncated series with cubes of Catalan numbers which extends a result by Zhi-Wei Sun.
We develop the Stienstra-Beukers theory of supercongruences in the setting of the Catalan-Larcombe-French sequence. We also give some applications to other sequences.
In this paper, we prove two supercongruences conjectured by Z.-W. Sun via the Wilf-Zeilberger method. One of them is, for any prime $p>3$, \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{p-1}\frac{6n+1}{256^n}\binom{2n}n^3&\equiv p(-1)^{(p-1)/2}-p^3E_{p-3}\pmod{p^4}. \end{align*} In fact, this supercongruence is a generalization of a supercongruence of van Hamme.
In this paper, we partly prove a supercongruence conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in 2013. Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $a\in\mathbb{Z}^{+}$. Then if $p\equiv1\pmod3$, we have \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor\frac{5}6p^a\rfloor}\frac{\binom{2k}k}{16^k}\equiv\left(\frac{3}{p^a}\right)\pmod{p^2}, \end{align*} where $\left(\frac{\cdot}{\cdot}\right)$ is the Jacobi symbol.
The harmonic numbers $H_n=\sum_{0<k\ls n}1/k\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ play important roles in mathematics. With helps of some combinatorial identities, we establish the following two congruences: $$\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-3}2}\f{\binom{2k}k^2H_k}{(2k+1)16^k}\ \mbox{modulo}\ p^2\ \mbox{and}\ \sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-3}2}\f{\binom{2k}k^2H_{2k}}{(2k+1)16^k}\ \mbox{modulo}\ p$$ for any prime $p>3$, the second one was conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in 2012. These two congruences are very important to prove the following conjectures of Z.W.Sun: For any old prime $p$, we have $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{P_k}{8^k}\equiv1+2\bi…
Recently, Z.-W. Sun made the following conjecture: for any odd prime $p$ and odd integer $m$, $$ \frac{1}{m^2{m-1\choose (m-1)/2}}\Bigg(\sum_{k=0}^{(pm-1)/2}\frac{2k\choose k}{8^k} -\left(\frac{2}{p}\right)\sum_{k=0}^{(m-1)/2}\frac{2k\choose k}{8^k}\Bigg) \equiv 0\pmod{p^2}. $$ In this note, applying the "creative microscoping" method, introduced by the author and Zudilin, we confirm the above conjecture of Sun.
In this note, we prove two supercongruences involving Almkvist--Zudilin sequences, which were originally conjectured by Z.-H. Sun.
In this paper, we prove two conjectural supercongruences on the $(p-1)$th Apéry number, which were recently proposed by Z.-H. Sun.
In this paper, we mainly prove two conjectural supercongruences of Sun by using the following identity $$ \sum_{k=0}^n\binom{2k}{k}^2\binom{2n-2k}{n-k}^2=16^n\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{\binom{n+k}{k}\binom{n}{k}\binom{2k}{k}^2}{(-16)^k} $$ which arises from a ${}_4F_3$ hypergeometric transformation. For any prime $p>3$, we prove that \begin{gather*} \sum_{n=0}^{p-1}\frac{n+1}{8^n}\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{2k}{k}^2\binom{2n-2k}{n-k}^2\equiv(-1)^{(p-1)/2}p+5p^3E_{p-3}\pmod{p^4},\\ \sum_{n=0}^{p-1}\frac{2n+1}{(-16)^n}\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{2k}{k}^2\binom{2n-2k}{n-k}^2\equiv(-1)^{(p-1)/2}p+3p^3E_{p-3}\pmod{p^4}, \end…
The Franel numbers are defined by $ f_n=\sum_{k=0}^n {n\choose k}^3. $ Motivated by the recent work of Z.-W. Sun on Franel numbers, we prove that \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(3k+1)(-16)^{n-k-1} {2k\choose k} f_k &\equiv 0\pmod{n{2n\choose n}}, \\ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{3k+1}{(-16)^k} {2k\choose k} f_k &\equiv p (-1)^{\frac{p-1}{2}} \pmod{p^3}. \end{align*} where $n>1$ and $p$ is an odd prime. The second congruence modulo $p^2$ confirms a recent conjecture of Z.-H. Sun. We also show that, if $p$ is a prime of the form $4k+3$, then $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{{2k\choose k} f_k}{(-16)^k} \equiv 0 …
Let $E_n$ be the $n$-th Euler number and $(a)_n=a(a+1)\cdots (a+n-1)$ the rising factorial. Let $p>3$ be a prime. In 2012, Sun proved the that $$ \sum^{(p-1)/2}_{k=0}(-1)^k(4k+1)\frac{(\frac{1}{2})_k^3}{k!^3} \equiv p(-1)^{(p-1)/2}+p^3E_{p-3} \pmod{p^4}, $$ which is a refinement of a famous supercongruence of Van Hamme. In 2016, Chen, Xie, and He established the following result: $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(-1)^k (3k+1)\frac{(\frac{1}{2})_k^3}{k!^3} 2^{3k} \equiv p(-1)^{(p-1)/2}+p^3E_{p-3} \pmod{p^4}, $$ which was originally conjectured by Sun. In this paper we give $q$-analogues of the above two supe…
Let $m>2$ and $q>0$ be integers with $m$ even or $q$ odd. We show the supercongruence $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(-1)^{km}\binom{p/m-q}{k}^m\equiv0\pmod{p^3}.$$ for any prime $p>mq$. This confirms a conjecture of Sun.
In this paper, we prove two supercongruences by the Wilf-Zeilberger method. One of them is, for any prime $p>3$, \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{3n+1}{(-8)^n}\binom{2n}n^3\equiv p\left(\frac{-1}p\right)+\frac{p^3}4\left(\frac2p\right)E_{p-3}\left(\frac14\right)\pmod{p^4}, \end{align*} where $\left(\frac{\cdot}p\right)$ stands for the Legendre symbol, and $E_{n}(x)$ are the Euler polynomials. This congruence confirms a conjecture of Sun \cite[(2.18)]{sun-numb-2019} with $n=1$.
We prove some supercongruence and divisibility results on sums involving Domb numbers, which confirm four conjectures of Z.-W. Sun and Z.-H. Sun. For instance, by using a transformation formula due to Chan and Zudilin, we show that for any prime $p\ge 5$, \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{3k+1}{(-32)^k}{\rm Domb}(k)\equiv (-1)^{\frac{p-1}{2}}p+p^3E_{p-3} \pmod{p^4}, \end{align*} which is regarded as a $p$-adic analogue of the following interesting formula for $1/π$ due to Rogers: \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{3k+1}{(-32)^k}{\rm Domb}(k)=\frac{2}π. \end{align*} Here ${\rm Domb}(n)$…
We prove several supercongruences involving the harmonic number of order two $H_n^{(2)}:=\sum_{k=1}^n1/k^2$. For example, if $p>5$ is prime and $α$ is $p$-integral, then we can completely determine $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{H_k^{(2)}}{k}\cdot\binomα{k}\binom{-1-α}{k}\quad\text{and}\quad \sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\frac{H_k^{(2)}}{k}\cdot\binomα{k}\binom{-1-α}{k} $$ modulo $p^3$. In particular, by setting $α=-1/2$, we confirm two conjectured congruences of Z.-W. Sun.
In this paper, we confirm several conjectured congruences of Sun concerning the divisibility of binomial sums. For example, with help of a quadratic hypergeometric transformation, we prove that $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\binom{p-1}k\binom{2k}k^2\frac{P_k}{8^k}\equiv0\pmod{p^2} $$ for any prime $p\equiv 7\mod{8}$, where $P_k$ is the $k$-th Pell number. Further, we also propose three new congruences of the same type.
In this paper, we prove a new identity for values of the Hurwitz zeta function which contains as particular cases Koecher's identity for odd zeta values, the Bailey-Borwein-Bradley identity for even zeta values and many other interesting formulas related to values of the Hurwitz zeta function. We also get an extension of the bivariate identity of Cohen to values of the Hurwitz zeta function. The main tool we use here is a construction of new Markov-WZ pairs. As application of our results, we prove several conjectures on supercongruences proposed by J. Guillera, W. Zudilin, and Z.-W. Sun.
In this paper, we prove several supercongruences conjectured by Z.-W. Sun ten years ago via certain strange hypergeometric identities. For example, for any prime $p>3$, we show that $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{\binom{4k}{2k+1}\binom{2k}k}{48^k}\equiv0\pmod{p^2},$$ and $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{\binom{2k}{k}\binom{3k}{k}}{24^k}\equiv\begin{cases}\binom{(2p-2)/3}{(p-1)/3}\pmod{p^2}\ &\mbox{if}\ p\equiv1\pmod{3},\\ p/\binom{(2p+2)/3}{(p+1)/3}\pmod{p^2}\ &\mbox{if}\ p\equiv2\pmod{3}.\end{cases} $$ We also obtain some other results of such types.
By using the Rodriguez-Villegas-Mortenson supercongruences, we prove four supercongruences on sums involving binomial coefficients, which were originally conjectured by Sun. We also confirm a related conjecture of Guo on integer-valued polynomials.
Let $M_n$ and $T_n$ denote the $n$th Motzkin number and the $n$th central trinomial coefficient respectively. We prove that for any prime $p\ge 5$, \begin{align*} &\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}M_k^2\equiv \left(\frac{p}{3}\right)\left(2-6p\right)\pmod{p^2},\\ &\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}kM_k^2\equiv \left(\frac{p}{3}\right)\left(9p-1\right)\pmod{p^2},\\ &\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}T_kM_k\equiv \frac{4}{3}\left(\frac{p}{3}\right)+\frac{p}{6}\left(1-9\left(\frac{p}{3}\right)\right)\pmod{p^2}, \end{align*} where $\left(-\right)$ is the Legendre symbol. These results confirm three 12-year-old supercongruence conjectures of Z.-W. Su…
The Delannoy numbers and Schröder numbers are given by \begin{align*} D_n=\sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}{n+k\choose k}\quad \text{and}\quad S_n=\sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}{n+k\choose k}\frac{1}{k+1}, \end{align*} respectively. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We mainly prove that \begin{align*} \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}D_k S_k\equiv 2p^3B_{p-3}-2pH^{*}_{p-1} \pmod{p^4}, \end{align*} where $B_n$ is the $n$-th Bernoulli number and those $H^{*}_n$ are the alternating harmonic numbers given by $H^{*}_n=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{(-1)^k}{k}$. This supercongruence was originally conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in 2011.
In this paper, we prove some supercongruences concerning truncated hypergeometric series. For example, we show that for any prime $p>3$ and positive integer $r$, $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p^r-1}(3k+1)\frac{(\frac12)_k^3}{(1)_k^3}4^k\equiv p^r+\frac76p^{r+3}B_{p-3}\pmod{p^{r+4}} $$ and $$ \sum_{k=0}^{(p^r-1)/2}(4k+1)\frac{(\frac12)_k^4}{(1)_k^4}\equiv p^r+\frac76p^{r+3}B_{p-3}\pmod{p^{r+4}}, $$ where $(x)_k=x(x+1)\cdots(x+k-1)$ is the Pochhammer symbol and $B_0,B_1,B_2,\ldots$ are Bernoulli numbers. These two congruences confirm conjectures of Sun [Sci. China Math. 54 (2011), 2509--2535] and Guo [Adv. App…
In this paper we prove the supercongruence $$\sum_{n=0}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{6n+1}{256^n}\binom{2n}n^3\equiv p(-1)^{(p-1)/2}+(-1)^{(p-1)/2}\frac{7}{24}p^4B_{p-3}\pmod{p^5}$$ for any prime $p>3$, which was conjectured by Sun in 2019.

In this paper, we prove two recently conjectured supercongruences (modulo $p^3$, where $p$ is any prime greater than $3$) of Zhi-Hong Sun on truncated sums involving the Domb numbers. Our proofs involve a number of ingredients such as congruences involving specialized Bernoulli polynomials, harmonic numbers, binomial coefficients, and hypergeometric summations and transformations.
Based on a $q$-congruence of the author and Petrov, we set up a $q$-analogue of Sun--Tauraso's congruence for sums of Catalan numbers, which extends a $q$-congruence due to Tauraso.

The Apéry numbers $A_n$ and the Franel numbers $f_n$ are defined by $$A_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{\binom{n+k}{2k}}^2{\binom{2k}{k}}^2\ \ \ \ \ {\rm and }\ \ \ \ \ \ f_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{\binom{n}{k}}^3(n=0, 1, \cdots,).$$ In this paper, we prove three supercongruences for Apéry numbers or Franel numbers conjectured by Z.-W. Sun. Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime and let $n\in \mathbb{Z}^{+}$. We show that \begin{align} \notag \frac{1}{n}\bigg(\sum_{k=0}^{pn-1}(2k+1)A_k-p\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(2k+1)A_k\bigg)\equiv0\pmod{p^{4+3ν_p(n)}} \end{align} and \begin{align}\notag \frac{1}{n^3}\bigg(\sum_{k=0}^{pn-1}(2k+1)^3A_k-p^…
Recently, Z.-W. Sun introduced two kinds of polynomials related to the Delannoy numbers, and proved some supercongruences on sums involving those polynomials. We deduce new summation formulas for squares of those polynomials and use them to prove that certain rational sums involving even powers of those polynomials are integers whenever they are evaluated at integers. This confirms two conjectures of Z.-W. Sun. We also conjecture that many of these results have neat $q$-analogues.
We prove three supercongruences for sums of Almkvist-Zudilin numbers, which confirm some conjectures of Zudilin and Z.-H. Sun. A typical example is the Ramanujan-type supercongruence: \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{p-1} \frac{4k+1}{81^k}γ_k \equiv \left(\frac{-3}{p}\right) p\pmod{p^3}, \end{align*} which is corresponding to Chan and Verrill's formula for $1/π$: \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{4k+1}{81^k}γ_k = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2π}. \end{align*} Here $γ_n$ are the Almkvist-Zudilin numbers.

In this paper, we study congruences on sums of products of binomial coefficients that can be proved by using properties of the Jacobi polynomials. We give special attention to polynomial congruences containing Catalan numbers, second-order Catalan numbers, the sequence (\seqnum{A176898}) $S_n=\frac{{6n\choose 3n}{3n\choose 2n}}{2{2n\choose n}(2n+1)},$ and the binomial coefficients ${3n\choose n}$ and ${4n\choose 2n}$. As an application, we address several conjectures of Z.\ W.\ Sun on congruences of sums involving $S_n$ and we prove a cubic residuacity criterion in terms of sums of the binomia…
For all positive integers n, we prove the following divisibility properties: $$(2n+3){2n\choose n} | 3{6n\choose 3n}{3n\choose n}, and (10n+3){3n\choose n} | 21{15n\choose 5n} {5n\choose n}.$$ This confirms two recent conjectures of Z.-W. Sun. Some similar divisibility properties are given. Moreover, we show that, for all positive integers m and n, the product $am{am+bm-1\choose am}{an+bn\choose an}$ is divisible by m+n. In fact, the latter result can be generalized to the q-binomial coefficients and q-integers case, which generalizes the positivity of q-Catalan numbers. We also propose severa…
