Some new $q$-congruences for truncated basic hypergeometric series: even powers

Number Theory 2019-12-02 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We provide several new qq-congruences for truncated basic hypergeometric series with the base being an even power of qq. Our results mainly concern congruences modulo the square or the cube of a cyclotomic polynomial and complement corresponding ones of an earlier paper containing qq-congruences for truncated basic hypergeometric series with the base being an odd power of qq. We also give a number of related conjectures including qq-congruences modulo the fifth power of a cyclotomic polynomial and a congruence for a truncated ordinary hypergeometric series modulo the seventh power of a prime greater than 3.
