Supercongruences via Modular Forms

چکیده
We prove two supercongruences for the coefficients of power series expansions in t of modular forms where t is a modular function. As a result, we settle two recent conjectures of Chan, Cooper and Sica. Additionally, we provide a table of supercongruences for numbers which appear in similar power series expansions and in the study of integral solutions of Apéry-like differential equations.

Gaussian Hypergeometric series and supercongruences
Let p be an odd prime. In 1984, Greene introduced the notion of hypergeometric functions over finite fields. Special values of these functions have been of interest as they are related to the number of Fp points on algebraic varieties and to Fourier coefficients of modular forms. In this paper, we explicitly determine these functions modulo higher powers of p and discuss an application to super...
متن کاملGaussian Hypergeometric Series and Extensions of Supercongruences
Let p be an odd prime. The purpose of this paper is to refine methods of Ahlgren and Ono [2] and Kilbourn [13] in order to prove a general mod p congruence for the Gaussian hypergeometric series n+1Fn(λ) where n is an odd positive integer. As a result, we extend three recent supercongruences. The first is a result of Ono and Ahlgren [2] on a supercongruence for Apéry numbers which was conjectur...
متن کاملBinomial Coefficient–harmonic Sum Identities Associated to Supercongruences
We establish two binomial coefficient–generalized harmonic sum identities using the partial fraction decomposition method. These identities are a key ingredient in the proofs of numerous supercongruences. In particular, in other works of the author, they are used to establish modulo p (k > 1) congruences between truncated generalized hypergeometric series, and a function which extends Greene’s ...
متن کامل“divergent” Ramanujan-type Supercongruences
“Divergent” Ramanujan-type series for 1/π and 1/π2 provide us with new nice examples of supercongruences of the same kind as those related to the convergent cases. In this paper we manage to prove three of the supercongruences by means of the Wilf–Zeilberger algorithmic technique.
متن کاملSupercongruences Involving Multiple Harmonic Sums and Bernoulli Numbers
In this paper, we study some supercongruences involving multiple harmonic sums by using Bernoulli numbers. Our main theorem generalizes previous results by many different authors and confirms a conjecture by the authors and their collaborators. In the proof, we will need not only the ordinary multiple harmonic sums in which the indices are ordered, but also some variant forms in which the indic...
