A general family of congruences for Bernoulli numbers

Number Theory 2018-10-16 v2

Abstract

We prove a general family of congruences for Bernoulli numbers whose index is a polynomial function of a prime, modulo a power of that prime. Our family generalizes many known results, including the von Staudt--Clausen theorem and Kummer's congruence.
