Abstract
In this paper, we study some supercongruences involving the sequence and solve some open problems. For any odd prime and -adic integer , we determine and modulo ; for example, we establish that \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{p-1}t_n(x)^2\equiv\begin{cases} \left(\dfrac{-1}{p}\right)\pmod{p^2},&\text{if }2x\equiv-1\pmod{p},\\[8pt] (-1)^{\langle x\rangle_p}\dfrac{p+2(x-\langle x\rangle_p)}{2x+1}\pmod{p^2},&\text{otherwise,} \end{cases} \end{align*} where denotes the least nonnegative residue of modulo . This confirms a conjecture of Z.-W. Sun.
