$p$-adic supercongruences conjectured by Sun
Abstract
In this paper we prove three results conjectured by Z.-W. Sun. Let be an odd prime and let with . For and , we show that \begin{align}\notag \sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}\binom{hp^a-1}{k}\binom{2k}{k}\bigg(-\frac{h}{2}\bigg)^k\equiv0\pmod{p^{a+1}}. \end{align} Also, for any we have \begin{align} \notag \nu_{p}\bigg(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{hn-1}{k}\binom{2k}{k}\bigg(-\frac{h}{2}\bigg)^k\bigg)\geq\nu_{p}(n)\notag, \end{align} where denotes the -adic order of . For any integer and positive integer , we have \begin{align*} \frac{1}{pn}\bigg(\sum_{k=0}^{pn-1}\binom{pn-1}{k}\frac{\binom{2k}{k}}{(-m)^k}-\bigg(\frac{m(m-4)}{p}\bigg)\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}{k}\frac{\binom{2k}{k}}{(-m)^k}\bigg)\in \mathbb{Z}_{p}, \end{align*} where is the Legendre symbol and is the ring of -adic integers.
