Abstract

In this paper, we mainly prove the following congruence conjectured by J.-C. Liu: 6F5[541212121212141111 1]p12p316Γp(14)4(modp5), {}_6F_5\bigg[\begin{matrix}\frac{5}{4}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}\\&\frac{1}{4}&1&1&1&1\end{matrix}\bigg|\ -1\bigg]_{\frac{p-1}{2}}\equiv-\frac{p^3}{16}\Gamma_p\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^4\pmod{p^5}, where p5p\geq5 are primes with p3(mod4)p\equiv3\pmod{4}.
