Abstract
Let be a prime, and let be the set of rational numbers whose denominator is coprime to . Let be the Legendre polynomials. In this paper we mainly show that for with , \align &P_{[\frac p6]}(t) \e -\Big(\frac 3p\Big)\sum_{x=0}^{p-1}\Big(\frac{x^3-3x+2t}p\Big)\pmod p, &\Big(\sum_{x=0}^{p-1}\Big(\frac{x^3+mx+n}p\Big)\Big)^2\equiv \Big(\frac{-3m}p\Big) \sum_{k=0}^{[p/6]}\binom{2k}k\binom{3k}k\binom{6k}{3k} \Big(\frac{4m^3+27n^2}{12^3\cdot 4m^3}\Big)^k\pmod p, where is the Legendre symbol and is the greatest integer function. As an application we solve some conjectures of Z.W. Sun and the author concerning , where is an integer not divisible by .
