Some congruences involving powers of Delannoy polynomials
Abstract
The Delannoy polynomial is defined by We prove that, if is an integer and is a prime not dividing , then \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(2k+1)D_k(x)^3 &\equiv p\left(\frac{-4x-3}{p}\right) \pmod{p^2}, \\ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(2k+1)D_k(x)^4 &\equiv p \pmod{p^2}, \\ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(-1)^k(2k+1)D_k(x)^3 &\equiv p\left(\frac{4x+1}{p}\right) \pmod{p^2}, \end{align*} where denotes the Legendre symbol. The first two congruences confirm a conjecture of Z.-W. Sun [Sci. China 57 (2014), 1375--1400]. The third congruence confirms a special case of another conjecture of Z.-W. Sun [J. Number Theory 132 (2012), 2673--2699]. We also prove that, for any integer and odd prime , there holds \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(-1)^k(2k+1)D_k(x)^4 &\equiv p\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}{2}} (-1)^k {2k\choose k}^2(x^2+x)^k(2x+1)^{2k} \pmod{p^2}, \end{align*} and conjecture that it still holds modulo .
