Some congruences related to a congruence of Van Hamme

Published 9 Mar 2019 in math.CO and math.NT | (1903.03766v1)

Abstract: We establish some supercongruences related to a supercongruence of Van Hamme, such as \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}{(p+1)/2} (-1)k (4k-1)\frac{(-\frac{1}{2})k3}{k!3} &\equiv p(-1){(p+1)/2}+p3(2-E{p-3})\pmod{p{4}},\ \sum_{k=0}{(p+1)/2} (4k-1)5 \frac{(-\frac{1}{2})k4}{k!4} &\equiv 16p\pmod{p{4}}, \end{align*} where $p$ is an odd prime and $E{p-3}$ is the $(p-3)$-th Euler number. Our proof uses some congruences of Z.-W. Sun, the Wilf--Zeilberger method, Whipple's $_7F_6$ transformation, and the software package {\tt Sigma} developed by Schneider. We also put forward two related conjectures.
