In 2013, Pak and Panova proved the strict unimodality property of $q$-binomial coefficients $\binom{\ell+m}{m}_q$ (as polynomials in $q$) based on the combinatorics of Young tableaux and the semigroup property of Kronecker coefficients.…

Using a property of the q-shifted factorial, an identity for q-binomial coefficients is proved, which is used to derive the formulas for the q-binomial coefficient for negative arguments. The result is in agreement with an earlier paper…

We establish a $q$-analogue of Sun--Zhao's congruence on harmonic sums. Based on this $q$-congruence and a $q$-series identity, we prove a congruence conjecture on sums of central $q$-binomial coefficients, which was recently proposed by…

The $q$-analogue of an integer $m$ is given by $[m]_q=(1-q^m)/(1-q)$. Let $a$ be an integer, and let $n$ be a positive odd integer. Via discrete Fourier transforms, we establish the following two identities:…

$q$-Analogues of the coefficients of $x^a$ in the expansion of $\prod_{j=1}^N (1+x+...+x^j)^{L_j}$ are proposed. Useful properties, such as recursion relations, symmetries and limiting theorems of the ``$q$-supernomial coefficients'' are…

Motivated by recent works of Sun and Tauraso, we prove some variations on the Green-Krammer identity involving central q-binomial coefficients, such as $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(-1)^kq^{-{k+1\choose 2}}{2k\brack k}_q \equiv (\frac{n}{5})…

Recently, the concept of a D-analogue was introduced by the author. This is a Dirichlet series analogue for the already known and well researched hypergeometric q-series. we consider the D-analogues of the q-binomial coefficients, and a…
