A supercongruence is a congruence between rational numbers modulo a power of a prime. In this paper, we give a technique for finding and algorithmically proving supercongruences by expressing terms as infinite series involving certain…
We show that the distributions occurring in the geometric and spectral side of the twisted Arthur-Selberg trace formula extend to non-compactly supported test functions. The geometric assertion is modulo a hypothesis on root systems proven…
Recently, R. Tauraso established finite $p$-analogues of famous Ap\'ery series for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3).$ In this paper, we present several congruences for finite central binomial sums arising from the truncation of Ap\'ery-type series…
Let $p$ be a prime and let $x$ be a $p$-adic integer. We provide two supercongruences for truncated series of the form $$\sum_{k=1}^{p-1} \frac{(x)_k}{(1)_k}\cdot \frac{1}{k}\sum_{1\le j_1\le\cdots\le j_r\le k}\frac{1}{j_1^{}\cdots…
In this article, we list a few hypergeometric supercongruence conjectures based on two evaluation formulas of Whipple and numeric data computed using Magma and Sagemath.
Given a manifold $\mathbb{M}$ admitting a maximally supersymmetric consistent truncation, we show how to formulate new consistent truncations by restricting to a set of Kaluza-Klein modes on $\mathbb{M}$ invariant under some subgroup of the…
We prove two-term supercongruences for generalizations of recently discovered sporadic sequences of Cooper. We also discuss recent progress and future directions concerning other types of supercongruences.
In \cite{mccarthy2}, McCarthy defined a function $_{n}G_{n}[\cdots]$ using the Teichm\"{u}ller character of finite fields and quotients of the $p$-adic gamma function. This function extends hypergeometric functions over finite fields to the…
One of the most celebrated applications of Gauss' $_2F_1$ hypergeometric functions is in connection with the rapid convergence of sequences and special values that arise in the theory of arithmetic and geometric means. This theory was the…
Hypergeometric functions over finite fields were introduced by Greene in the 1980s as a finite field analogue of classical hypergeometric series. These functions, and their generalizations, naturally lend themselves to, and have been widely…
We introduce new p-adic convergent functions, which we call the p-adic hypergeometric functions of logarithmic type. The first main result is to prove the congruence relations that are similar to Dwork's. The second main result is that the…
Geometric zeta functions of Ihara and Hashimoto are generalized to higher rank. The $p$-adic version of the Patterson conjecture is proven.
We begin by defining general hypergeometric functions over finite fields and obtaining a finite field analogue of a classical symmetry in their complex counterparts. We give a geometric proof for the symmetry by constructing isomorphisms…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $q=p^r$, $r\geq 1$. For positive integers $n$, let ${_n}G_n[\cdots]_q$ denote McCarthy's $p$-adic hypergeometric functions. In this article, we prove an identity expressing a ${_4}G_4[\cdots]_q$ hypergeometric…
Recently, there emerges different versions of beta function and hypergeometric functions containing extra parameters. Gaining enlightenment from these ideas, we will first introduce a new extension of generalized hypergeometric function and…
Using an intrinsic $q$-hypergeometric strategy, we generalise Dwork-type congruences $H(p^{s+1})/H(p^s)\equiv H(p^s)/H(p^{s-1})\pmod{p^3}$ for $s=1,2,\dots$ and $p$ a prime, when $H(N)$ are truncated hypergeometric sums corresponding to the…
Guo and Zudilin [Adv. Math. 346 (2019), 329--358] developed an analytical method, called `creative microscoping', to prove many supercongruences by establishing their $q$-analogues. In this paper, we apply this method to give a…
The Grothendieck conjecture for hyperbolic curves over finite fields was solved affirmatively by Tamagawa and Mochizuki. On the other hand, (a ``weak version'' of) the Grothendieck conjecture for some hyperbolic curves over algebraic…
Given a prime number $p$, the study of divisibility properties of a sequence $c(n)$ has two contending approaches: $p$-adic valuations and superconcongruences. The former searches for the highest power of $p$ dividing $c(n)$, for each $n$;…
We prove a kind of bilateral semi-terminating series related to Ramanujan-like series for negative powers of $\pi$, and conjecture a type of supercongruences associated to them. We support this conjecture by checking all the cases for many…
