Abstract

By applying Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials and the "creative microscoping" method recently introduced by the author and Zudilin, we establish parametric generalizations of three qq-supercongruences modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. The original qq-supercongruences then follow from these parametric generalizations by taking the limits as the parameter tends to 11 (l'H\^opital's rule is utilized here). In particular, we prove a complete qq-analogue of the (J.2) supercongruence of Van Hamme and a complete qq-analogue of a "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruence, thus confirming two recent conjectures of the author. We also put forward some related conjectures, including a qq-supercongruence modulo the fifth power of a cyclotomic polynomial.
