Abstract

Congruences modulo prime powers involving generalized Harmonic numbers are known. While looking for similar congruences, we have encountered a curious triangular array of numbers indexed with positive integers n,kn,k, involving the Bernoulli and cycle Stirling numbers. These numbers are all integers and they vanish when nkn-k is odd. This triangle has many similarities with the Stirling triangle. In particular, we show how it can be extended to negative indices and how this extension produces a {\it second kind} of such integers which may be considered as a new generalization of the Genocchi numbers and for which a generating function is easily obtained. But our knowledge of these integers remains limited, especially for those of the {\it first kind}.
