Some Lucas-type congruences for q-trinomial coefficients

Number Theory 2023-05-03 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we present several new qq-congruences on the qq-trinomial coefficients introduced by Andrews and Baxter. As a conclusion, we obtain the following congruence: \begin{align*} \bigg(\!\!\binom{ap+b}{cp+d}\!\!\bigg)\equiv\bigg(\!\!\binom{a}{c}\!\!\bigg)\bigg(\!\!\binom{b}{d}\!\!\bigg)+\bigg(\!\!\binom{a}{c+1}\!\!\bigg)\bigg(\!\!\binom{b}{d-p}\!\!\bigg)\pmod{p}, \end{align*} where a,b,c,da,b,c,d are integers subject to a0,0b,dp1a \geq 0, 0 \leq b,d \leq p-1, and pp is an odd prime. Besides, we find that the method can also be used to reprove Pan's Lucas-type congruence for the qq-Delannoy numbers.
